I just took off my scarf: reading about you on the hammock made me feel envy like I haven't felt in a long time! :) Welcome back!

I consider myself among those who don't see much resemblance to Lizard; in the sense that I wouldn't have dedicated half a page to Lizard, but it doesn't matter. Then, about the genre... who knows! In my opinion, it has everything to be called sludge: there are slow tracks that melt your skin off your face, there are fast tracks that make you want to smash your face against a wall of glass shards with your eyes open, there are sounds that go SSGGGHHHHH and there's a lot of drugs. I call this sludge. However, I remember that some time ago, in a review, sludge was brought up for Kylesa and Baroness, so I give up. Great album; I don't know the others involved.

The comparison with Testuo is interesting. Aside from that, among the things that struck me about your review is the fact that you listened to this album... during your lunch break!!! I can only imagine the multiple benefits of free-noise on your digestion! :) Aside from these trivialities: I respect the project, but I don't think I fully understand it. So I’ll just stick to rating the review, which is always very good.

"Question: but if two albums like "Black Album" and "Load" had been released not by them, but by the "Trizzobaldica" in the '90s, what would have happened? I'll tell you: we would be talking about artist of the decade." Hey, buddy, look, the Black Album and Load sold I don't know how many millions of copies. These guys still pack arenas with people who bought the Black Album and had their metalhead friends make them a compilation of the most famous songs from the other albums. They are practically regular guests on MTV shows, they get interviewed by TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, and their tours systematically sell out. In my opinion, it’s quite the opposite: no one would have given a damn about them. Tell me, since you like Load so much, how many Corrosion of Conformity albums do you have at home?! Just to mention a band that made an album with those same sounds and no one ever cared about them...

Frankly, in 15 years of concerts, I don't remember ever hearing anyone chanting for Iron during a show of a band that wasn’t Iron themselves. Then it's clear that if your frame of reference is the acne-ridden teenagers who started listening to music with Fear of the Dark, then anything can be said. But it's like wanting to dismiss techno by only talking about kids who go to clubs on Sunday afternoons dressed like nuclear-liberty chandeliers to blow their brains out on pills. Musically speaking, you mention Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth to support metal absolutism and automatically forget that in the last 20 years, tons of albums have been released that revolutionize, enrich, and hybridize metal, without just adding a handful of strings to Nothing Else Matters. And again: the idea of orchestrating tracks is as old as time, even in the metal realm, not at all a "demonstration of versatility." Aside from Deep Purple, Rage did the exact same thing in 1996 with the album Lingua Mortis. Just the year before, in their album Black in Mind, there were several orchestral arrangements. Mekong Delta has been mixing thrash metal and classical scores since 1988. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Metallica is the metal band that appeals the most to those who don’t listen to metal. Acknowledge that and don’t venture into discussions about the higher laws of metal, which really isn’t your field.

Come on, it's been at least 15-20 years since no one really believes in that absolutist metal story anymore, perhaps apart from the 50-somethings with bald heads and ponytails who still walk around in their denim jackets over leather jackets with a Piece of Mind patch. There are avalanches of hybrid metal albums, full of influences, contaminations, orchestrations, etc., that have been released from the '90s to today (to be fair, already in the second half of the '80s, but that was more niche stuff). You picked up a worthless album, made just to lure in some clueless fans of Metallica (who already have a babbazzosità coefficient well above average) and used it as an example of something that hundreds of other bands have been doing a hundred times better for at least 15 years.

I really like Acid King: they don’t really do anything original, but they manage to be dirty, obsessive, and (above all) raw, while staying a bit more accessible and "easy to listen to" compared to other offerings in the genre (like the aforementioned Wizard from a few albums ago). III I quite like, it seems to me to be the most focused in their discography. Well done, PersoGiovanni, for talking about it!
