"Dorrian used the Growl for the first two albums"... Forest Of Equilibrium & The Etereal Mirror, not the first two albums of Ricchi e Poveri. You see, that's Growl from a little guy, not those bullshit metalhead deals with a double-headed axe attached for just one Euro more. About Philippo, okay, I get it, but it's still the same; you don't just go from Cannibal Corpse to a Gigliola Cinguetti. PS: the most hilarious thing I read about Bongzilla defending their gay vocal style was from some time ago, there was this guy saying "that's his original voice, he has it like that because he smokes twenty bongs a day! (and a thousand exclamation points, of course)"... it's a comic anthology of online laughter.

I bought the record just because the two-tiered cup full of Ganjah looks so alternative, it's me who tricked them, here you go.

... then there's growl and growl, and they use that pseudo-black metal which is just the worst. Even Dorrian uses the growl, even Philippo, but their growls are much less gay. The black metal growl sounds like the mating call of the castrated in love.

Okay, it's original, but it feels out of place. So let's record Topo Gigio's voice saying "strapazzami di coccole" over a Doom track; no one has ever done that... truly original, right? Now I'll tell Urlo: in the next album I want the Champions of Mila & Shiro and Chobin Boin Boin.

Ah, and Los Natas from 2003 onwards, their early albums don't say much to me but Corsario Negro and the Toba Trance Session are absolute masterpieces.

But what’s there to appreciate? You can’t understand a damn thing they say, and don’t tell me “I understand it” because I wouldn’t believe you even if you shot yourself. And don’t tell me “I don’t understand Ufommammut either” because, in the end, with Ufommammut, the voice is something more. P.S. I laughed at Vitalini when he wrote, “Lacrimosa is a text I adore, I wrote it and I’m proud of it”… I felt like telling him, “Do you really think a human being understands the lyrics of Lacrimosa?” :D

After 2000, I've only found a few good StonerDoomster groups (Yob, Krux, Bongzilla, Men Of Porn, and quite a few others), but there are really very few StonerRockers: Colour Haze (currently the best on the scene), Acrimony (sadly split up right away but they made two masterpieces), and Hangnail (like Acrimony, two albums and then nothing) and Clutch, who put out great work every year; still, they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Not to mention the dreadful albums that the old bands have released, colossal crap one after another; the only ones that have stood out are Y.Man, the oldest representatives of the genre, and yet "Rock Formations" is a great album. Now that Mario Lalli has lost 40 kg, he seems to have returned to being a young man :D

Do you find Bongzilla in a store? Compliment the manager on my behalf; I buy these things all in the US, never seen a Stoner-Doom CD in a shop, not even once.

It's not that it gets on my nerves, it's just a "it would be better if." Come on, it would be better; this Growl makes no damn sense to me.

Well Sam, I like Black Flag. I say I don't like the genre because out of 3000 bands, I only like a few (Zeke and a couple of others from the current scene, and then all the pioneers up to 1980, with the exception of Fugazi), so it's easier this way. But still, the genre can be nice if you want it to be; the problem is that it's all a copy of the predecessors. I find them really hilarious, a parody band.
