Coven Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Soul

..fuck!!..you stole it right under my nose!! I practically had it ready to send.. oh well.. Anyway, a curiosity: the album in question only stayed in stores for a few months. This is because Esquire, in 1970, published an article on the psychedelic-satanic scene of the late 60s, titled "Evil Slithers in California," which particularly referred to the figure of Charles Manson (who, thanks to the testimonies of the Kasabian, had recently been discovered to be the mastermind behind the murders of Cielo Drive, the LaBiancas, and Gary Hinman). The article was accompanied by a photo of Manson himself holding a record.. and do you know what record it was?!?..of course, the first Coven! And so Mercury Records decided to withdraw the album from the market! By the way, regarding the last super cheesy track, I would say it pales in comparison to the Satanic Mass published by LaVey a year earlier (I think..) bye!!

Never listened to them.. and reading the review, I would say they have all the credentials to make me shit worse than a castagnaccio indigestion.. But the review.. Wow!!.. besides not being total crap (even though I still find the track by track boring and pointless.. and watch out for the punctuation thrown in haphazardly), it’s also about a new album/band!! Well done! Who knows, maybe with the new year you’ve had a change of heart! Nice encouraging score.. Bye!
Kreator Outcast

I humbly thank everyone for the beautiful comments/votes. At the time of this album's release, I was in a full-on metalhead phase: basically, feeling anything that wasn't raw and aggressive thrash gave me rashes and erectile issues. Needless to say, "Outcast" ended up filed under "crazy crap" after a couple of listens. I believe the only way to truly appreciate it is to forget who Kreator used to be, except to remember them in order to recognize the courage of Mille and the guys. @sfascia: you're right. The title of genius, referring to good old Petrozozzone, fits as loosely as a pair of baggy pants worn without a belt... however, I believe that of the various characters who made up the triad, he was one of the few (if not the only one) to prove he had something to say that went beyond the various crazy butchers, tormentors, and orange agents... :DD! Hi everyone!

..among my guitar teacher's favorites: back then he really wore me out with his records! I don't know this one, but your review has really intrigued me.. May the mule be with me. Bye!

..it's in these cases that I have proof of being a total slob: I've probably listened to this record.. I don’t know.. 4-5 times at most!! :DD! I’m pleased to see that you’re starting to review more frequently.. ahhh.. what a sigh of relief! Great job as always. Bye!

To be honest, I didn't like this very much.. By the way, you've given me a doubt about his discography. I have one of his CDs (very beautiful) titled "Contro un'onda del mare" released by Virgin in 1996, while I had never heard of "Gadzilla"!!!.. can you help me?!? thank you very much. Nice review!
Destruction All Hell Breaks Loose

..come on, Blade Runner!!:DDD!..it's taken from a miniseries (about six hours long) from 2003: "Angels In America" by Mike Nichols (the director, just to clarify, of "The Graduate"). Just think that the cast includes Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, and Meryl Streep. Being based on a double play by Kushner (I hope I spelled that right..), it relies heavily on dialogue..and that’s one of my favorites.. Another one I really like is (going from memory..) "The white guy who wrote the American national anthem put the word 'freedom' on a note so high that no one could reach it." Let's just say the story behind that dialogue is a bit complicated, but I can assure you it has an impact.
