I can only quote Caz: from a reviewer of your level, I would have expected much more. At least in a review dedicated to your favorite writer. All those random ellipses, the forgotten capitalizations, the repetitions (even in the comments) are signs of a lack of respect for the reader. I didn't think you were capable of such, Gino...

The most famous one is probably this: ImageShack - Image Page But I’m almost sure there’s also a doom album, perhaps by The Obsessed, that has more or less the exact same photo... Let me see if I can find it.

I’ve always found them quite likable: they initially emerged as a sort of supergroup with members from Rage and other more or less extreme bands from the German scene (there were Peavy Wagner, Jorge Michael, and a few other folks picked up along the way), and, in theory, they were supposed to be a kind of "ghost band" where each member would have their own pseudonym, not give interviews, not perform live, etc. It goes without saying that the experiment was destined to fail, largely due to the commitments of the members with their respective main bands. Aside from these gossip-worthy aspects, I’ve always seen them as a respectable band, but nothing more. Technically, they’re at a medium-high level, but certainly not exceptional. The vocal performances across the various albums are very inconsistent and never quite reach miraculous heights. The same fusion of thrash and classical music doesn’t seem to always hit the mark either. In short, the general feeling is almost always one of “I would like to, but I can’t.” This, along with The Music (which has very little classical influence) and Dance of Death, probably remains their best work.

The next Death or Glory has one of those covers that makes you want to pull out your preschool drawings and propose them to some record label, but it's also a good album of primordial epicness, rocking, melodic, and with some nice ideas that compensate for the band's technical shortcomings. Among other things, I remember that the always great Mister 5 balls reviewed it - Battlegods. Frankly, I have only vague memories of this: it honestly seems to me that it was less focused than its successor (which already didn't deserve the 5 balls), but maybe I'm misremembering. Good review, Hell.

The reflection is interesting and I read it with pleasure. I think that the thrash revival of recent years can be attributed not so much to socio-political factors, but rather to a mere reaction to the musical decline of the power genre: as the latter transformed into a farce and its fans became caricatures, the public’s tastes shifted to the more extreme (and still respectable) genre closest to it, namely thrash (let's not forget that some of the earliest power bands, like Running Wild, had backgrounds in speed-thrash). Then, simply, a lot of bands wanted to ride the wave, and there was a rush for reunions, with some good results and others, all in all, avoidable. In any case, well done.

Really good. From the way you describe it, I might be really interested.

Well... if you’re talking about stoner in general, I can’t disagree with you. Maybe it’s because I’m gradually moving away from the genre, but frankly, it seems to me that truly interesting bands are coming out less and less. Or, at least, it seems that the ones that are really interesting are only those trying to mix things up, bastardizing their sound. However, you also have to consider that the genre itself is deliberately derivative and repetitive. In short, it’s ALSO a stylistic choice: you can't, just to be clear, complain if a doom album sounds slow. In this specific case, though, I must say that this remains a really very good album both in terms of sound and composition, and, all things considered, quite distant from the typical canons of stoner. You say it doesn’t stand the test of time?! I don’t know! I haven’t listened to it in almost a year! :D

I think I've only listened to the first Santana album or maybe a bit more, but I absolutely love this one:
