Fallen

All American death metal albums have the same effect on me... 20 seconds of interest and then a wonderful R.E.M. phase...

Mmmmhhh... so, as far as I know, Argento IS indeed the greatest intellectual of the Italian scene: his culture is impressive, and his theses, expressed in his project, are at least fascinating even from a strictly philosophical point of view (See the texts of "Non Dvcor, Dvco" and the interview on www.blackterrormetal.com). Musically, if not the best Italian band, it is certainly one of the most incisive at an international level and one of the jewels of our scene. Another point in his favor is that he hasn’t drawn, in my opinion, from any particular tradition in songwriting. The Norse influence you mentioned, death, I don’t perceive at all... a sound that is too warm and enveloping, too little malign and excessively majestic to be of Norwegian school, too slow, martial, and measured to be of Swedish school... and I believe I can affirm that Spite Extreme Wing (I’m fairly certain it’s written with an X) is one of the very few truly original projects born in recent years. The album in question is then a rather unique blend of different eras and stylistic peculiarities, as rightly pointed out in the review, which may, however, result in difficult comprehension.

Keep writing like a foolish teenager then. The editors are all good and skilled, but I don't believe they'll publish the second review if you keep using these moronic abbreviations... while you wait to be banned, take this loud 1.

But is it really so difficult to avoid those abbreviations with the k and those "nn"? Do you really feel this urgent and uncontrollable need to spoil the Italian language? Justifiable only if you are under 16.

if it wasn't clear, despite my forgetfulness...

I’ve never listened to this first full album, perhaps because I was "exhausted" by the compactness and granite-like quality of Channeling The Quintessence Of Satan, which is magnificent, and Nachthymen, but I greatly appreciate these guys: no frills but guaranteed pathos. An excellent review, as always, and a perfect portrait of the feelings on which the Abigor project is based. Ah death, I have an interesting concert to invite you to right there in Milan...

total underground cult

Well, you don't lose anything by not listening to them, in my opinion... A somewhat rough review.

stuff a bit more true? Behexen, sargeist, gorgoroth, etc.?

Never heard it, I'll take care of it. Great review, it makes you want to listen.
