It seems fair to me: the reviewer produces excellent pages on a genre that is rarely addressed on the site. They do it with knowledge of the subject, often participate in discussions, post tons of mouth-watering links for those who want to delve deeper into the genre... but no. That's not enough. They get hit with double (?!?) one. We're in a delirium...

I thought that the phrase "the objective meaning, in my opinion" was unbeatable. But with the link (certainly not hypertextual, even though I don't know what it means) "homo faber" + "gnocco fritto," we are touching the sublime of the supercazzola. Applause. Enough to sprain your wrists.

In fact, more than "seen," I should have said "crossed paths": that evening I entered a few minutes before you because I already had the ARCI membership card and I managed to catch 2-3 songs. To be fair, I should say that my impressions are more like gut feelings rather than a true judgment. Still that evening, while I was at the bar waiting for the beers, I ran into Stefano Cerati from Rumore, who expressed his absolute enthusiasm (or as a guy I know says: "enthusiastic") for this band, so much so that he even included them in his top ten that year. The discussion you mentioned (quite delirious! :D) had happened over my review of The Alchemist by Witchcraft... with every comment, another 5 bands worth listening to would emerge! :D

Great review. Resurrection Macabre didn't even have time to disappoint me, as I listened to it so little. To be honest, I even doubt I'll feel like hearing it. I don't know: the idea of a musician of undeniable talent who, after twenty-plus years, goes back to playing the same stuff always leaves me quite puzzled. I understand people like, let's say, Destruction (the first that comes to mind...) who sound the same because they don’t know how to do anything else, but these guys, in theory, should be people who carry on a musical journey, an evolution, a search... who knows!

If you have a weakness for female vocals, check out Jex Toth (I can’t remember where the H goes...). They create a sort of doom-black Sabbath version of Jefferson Airplane. Back in the day, I liked their self-titled album, and it received great reviews, but everyone I played it for brutally tore it apart... :D

If you enjoyed Blood Ceremony, you will probably like Witchcraft out of the three bands I mentioned, as they most closely capture those dark 70s sounds. Personally, I really appreciated the self-titled debut (which is the most overtly revivalist) and the third album "The Alchemist" (more varied, more refined, if you will). Graveyard is definitely more in the hard blues territory, a sort of hyper-pumped version of Cream or something along those lines. Dead Man, on the other hand, leans much more towards folk territory. These three were the main bands of the retro rock scene in Örebro, Sweden. I think most of the bands from that scene have sort of fallen by the wayside (Witchcraft, after the singer's solo album - which I remember being quite beautiful, though I could be mistaken - haven't been heard from since. Last I heard, Dead Man hasn't recorded anything since 2008. Graveyard, however, just released a new - good - album). In any case: if you ever feel like diving deeper into these sounds, let me know because I have a few gigabytes of stuff to share with you! :))

I saw them live a couple of years ago, opening for Electric Wizard. Live, they seemed interesting, but it was a shame that the singer-flutist appeared a bit too shy and not exactly comfortable in the role of the Priestess of the Sabbah. On record, however, they really made me cringe: very little punch and some rather clichéd solutions. At this point, I prefer bands like Witchcraft, Graveyard, or Dead Man who, while doing pure musical calligraphy, do it with style.
