 The mood is decidedly darker and oppressive, and the album’s title is absolutely indicative of the feeling of 'death inside.'

 An album half-successful with much technicism and few ideas. A real shame for a band that had so much promise.

SikTh's 2006 album 'Death Of A Dead Day' embraces a darker, angrier direction focusing on urban themes and human struggles. The technical skill is evident but overshadowed by reduced vocal dynamics and less experimentation. Despite strong moments like 'Bland Street Bloom' and 'Sanguine Seas Of Bigotry,' the album feels somewhat monotonous and fatigued. This release preceded the band's temporary disbandment, reflecting internal challenges. Overall, the album delivers mixed results with notable technical proficiency but fewer fresh ideas. Explore SikTh's intense and complex 'Death Of A Dead Day' to experience their darker, technical metal evolution.

 Klimt 1918 are here to present their latest effort, that "Just In Case We’ll Never Meet Again", which has raised many eyebrows but undoubtedly provided the group with their own sonorous and compositional autonomy.

 The emotional power of "The Graduate" loosens up the most skeptical who let themselves go in blind swaying, lulled by Marco’s increasingly warm and determined voice.

Klimt 1918 delivered a memorable and emotionally charged live performance at Rome's Circolo degli Artisti. Their mix of gloomy, seductive guitars and passionate vocals deeply engaged the diverse crowd. Despite minor technical issues, the band’s maturity and connection with fans shone through. The evening featured songs from their album Just In Case We’ll Never Meet Again and earlier works, concluding with an energetic encore. The unique CD packaging with a cassette added a nostalgic touch to a fantastic concert experience. Discover the haunting beauty of Klimt 1918's live show—listen now and explore their evocative soundscapes!

 "It feels like getting lost in a jungle of voices and sounds where even the birds don’t know what they are singing."

 "Dose talks only to himself, there is no other interlocutor in this vicious circle."

The review assesses 'Circle' as an ambitious but uneven album that mixes experimental beats with Doseone's spoken word rap style. While it shows creative effort and interesting ideas, the album suffers from a flat and poorly structured feel. Certain tracks stand out, especially 'The Birdcatcher's Return,' but overall, the album feels like an incomplete artistic vision. Recommended mainly for fans interested in Doseone and Boom Bip's progress rather than casual listeners. Explore Boom Bip & Doseone's 'Circle' to experience raw experimental hip hop and discover hidden depths in its unique sound.

 'Each track has its story, it develops and explodes into a Belcanto that often replaces Riffoni.'
