Featuring engaging, straightforward songs, it delivers a classic metal experience without excess. Though not groundbreaking, the album stands as a commendable effort, worthy of recognition beyond the shadow of Gotthard. Key tracks like 'Out Of Control' and 'Chains Of Temptation' highlight its quality. Listen to Shakra's 'Fall' and experience authentic Swiss hard rock beyond the mainstream.

 He may have lost his hair, and even gets kicked (a little, obviously) by a woman, but in the end, the philosophy is always the same: always get back up, never surrender.

 Exaggerated, absurd, ironic, and pompous Die Hard - Live Free or Die Hard offered me exactly what I wanted: 2 hours of fun after a week of work.

The fourth Die Hard installment delivers nonstop action and classic John McClane heroics with a fresh hacker-centered plot. The film excels in blending exaggerated action scenes with humor and fast pacing. Despite some minor flaws, it remains a fun and satisfying continuation of the beloved saga. Bruce Willis shines once again, proving why the character endures. Watch Die Hard 4 for explosive action and iconic heroics—experience John McClane’s ultimate comeback!

 An eclectic and almost chaotic film in its progression full of twists and rich in changes of rhythm and genre (comedy, drama, romance, fantasy).

 A great film, different from the usual, focused on friendship, the ability to enjoy simple things, and finding oneself after moments of pure despair.

The review praises Terry Gilliam's film The Fisher King for its eclectic mix of genres and emotional storytelling. Highlighting strong performances by Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams, it underscores themes of friendship, healing, and self-discovery.

 Elvenking have finally grown and blossomed, leaving behind most Italian bands of the genre.

 Scythe is a sort of concept album centered precisely on the theme of death.

Elvenking's fourth album, Scythe, marks a powerful evolution from their folk metal roots into a complex fusion of power, death, and heavy metal. The album is darker, both thematically and musically, with strong industrial riffs and growl vocals complementing violin and keyboards. This concept album about death challenges old fans but showcases mature songwriting and professional production. It stands out as a milestone for the band and a must-listen for metal enthusiasts. Listen to Elvenking's Scythe and experience a bold metal journey blending power, folk, and death genres like never before!
