And what am I telling you for? I don’t want to write the same things every time :) the grade speaks for itself...

It's already on my download list, thanks for the heads up...

A beautiful nostalgic rediscovery for the series "One Shot '80"

Yes, yes, that's out of the question, Fidia. I'm just saying that I don’t feel like he’s part of Metallica; I see him more as a session man, let's put it that way.

Beautiful review, very heartfelt. I understand you because for me too, Metallica are one of the bands I've loved the most no matter what... The live performance seems interesting, even though I'm not very fond of Trujillo; I have some reservations about him as I don't consider him a true horseman, he arrived too late, but anyway that's another story... Can I find it online? How did you get your hands on it? More than being extremely bad, I would say "Orion" is beautiful and unmatched.

I believe that the meaning of this "heated" discussion, for me and for others, was not to blame Fallen, but rather to discuss the theme expressed in the review, which (in light of the facts) probably couldn't have been any different.
@tepes: personally, I never said any satanic nonsense, nor would I dream of doing so...

Dear Fallen, from your posts it's clear that you know exactly what you're talking about (referring to war & philosophy) and you probably have your good reasons too. If each of us wanted to support our theories on the matter, the posts on this page would never end... "Philosophy is a nasty beast, don't embark on it if you don't know..." I really don't want to embark on it because I don't know, and given the assumptions, even less so. Each of us has ideas, and I, I'm sorry, believe (even if as you say it's not written anywhere) that music is an instrument of peace, with which we can also address delicate themes (of course) such as war and/or hatred.

"As much as someone on TV tries to represent us in the full '70s still amusing ourselves with Cugini di Campagna, Alunni del Sole, and the like, the reality, fortunately, is a bit more varied." Holy words, Grasshopper, you surprised me; I never would have expected a review of BMS from you.

I abstain from voting for the simple reason that you wrote well, but I do not share at all the "philosophy" expressed. Therefore, giving you a low score because I don't approve of what you wrote would have been wrong, since you didn't review the album poorly. As for "war black metal," which I heard mentioned for the first time today, I wonder (damn!) in a broader sense: are you really convinced of what you listen to, or are "bone-crushing" songs enough for you? Who are the potential listeners of this genre? Let me explain better: everyone can freely express themselves, and so can Crystalium in a "free" country, but does listening to them mean endorsing their theory? Music should be a bearer of peace beyond the noise of the double bass or the sharp distortions. I might be wrong, but I tell you that I am broad-minded (after all, I also listen to a lot of metal) but I would never dream (if I ever liked it to death musically) of listening to an album like that. Unfortunately, music is not just made of sounds; it also has its significant weight.

let's say that regardless of whether one has experienced such situations or not, exploiting absurd themes for musical purposes remains inappropriate (after all, it should ultimately be about this) and the extremism at all costs only serves to degenerate/devalue the image of metal. One must have their head on their shoulders...
