March Horses

 A group of half-alcoholics reviving old rock ’n’ roll, r ’n’ b, blues tracks with an unorthodox vigor and palpable fun couldn’t be taken seriously.

 Their status as a 'charming band of drunks' remains a merit to this day, an extra spice to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of 3-minute tracks, the basic rhythm, and above all, the guitar of the mad Wilko Johnson.

Dr. Feelgood’s Singled Out offers a raw and energetic glimpse into the pub-rock era, capturing their rough charm and blues-infused rock ’n’ roll. This 3-disc collection features classic tracks and lively performances that showcase the band’s distinctive style. Known for their gritty pub ambiance and the legendary guitar work of Wilko Johnson, the album serves as satisfying entertainment rather than musical sophistication. It’s a fitting tribute to a band celebrated for their spirited live shows and unpretentious music. Explore Dr. Feelgood’s fiery pub-rock journey—listen to Singled Out and experience raw, energetic rock like never before!

 The delirium of trash, the apocalypse of buffoonery.

 A script that calling it ridiculous doesn’t do it justice, more like the barrel of creativity being scraped, or rather, completely smashed.

Lucio Fulci's Zombi 3 is a chaotic and trashy splatter film that deliberately plays with absurd zombie tropes. Despite its ridiculous script and low-budget effects, it offers memorable scenes and comedic value. The film shamelessly borrows from Romero’s works but tries to build tension and drama, ultimately failing in seriousness and succeeding in cult appeal. Produced in the Philippines to save costs, its surreal and campy moments make it a beloved cult classic. Dive into the chaotic world of Zombi 3 and experience one of the most entertainingly absurd zombie flicks ever made!

 Their best legacy is probably this 'A Tab In The Ocean,' a valid blend of 'sunny' progressive rock that touches more atmospheric shores.

 The masterpiece of the album remains the splendid 'Desolation Valley,' powerful and decidedly inspired.

Nektar's 1972 album 'A Tab In The Ocean' stands as a notable entry in the progressive rock era. It skillfully blends English rock elements with cosmic influences from the German scene. While the album showcases solid technical work and memorable tracks like 'Desolation Valley,' some vocal efforts and weaker songs reduce its overall impact. This record is a must-listen for fans seeking a fresh alternative to more repeated prog classics. Dive into Nektar’s cosmic prog journey with 'A Tab In The Ocean' and discover a hidden classic of 70s progressive rock.

 With the album "Ethereal Mirror," Cathedral takes a necessary step in their sonic evolution to come.

 "Chemically induced madness reigns supreme in a fun, very unique music."

The Ethereal Mirror marks a key point in Cathedral's sonic evolution, combining doom metal with psychedelia and classic rock influences. Lee Dorrian’s transition from punk to a more experimental sound shines through this 1993 release, featuring standout tracks like "Ride" and "Midnight Mountain." The album is praised as a fundamental milestone in their career, setting the stage for future refinements. Its unique blend of heavy riffs and hallucinogenic moods offers a memorable listening experience. Dive into Cathedral's The Ethereal Mirror and experience a psychedelic doom metal classic today!

 Mammoth, no other word could more appropriately describe "The Guessing Game" by the freak-doomsters Cathedral.

 Cathedral reconfirm themselves as one of the most intelligent and courageous remnants of the "old" metal.

Cathedral's The Guessing Game is a mammoth, ambitious double album celebrating 20 years of their career. The album blends doom, stoner, space rock, Anglo-Saxon folk, and psychedelia into a fluid and varied musical journey. Key tracks showcase melancholia, jazz influences, and ironic themes while maintaining coherence despite its length. Cathedral proves their continuous evolution and courage as one of the most intelligent old-school metal bands with this highly recommended release. Dive into Cathedral's The Guessing Game and experience a monumental journey through doom, psychedelia, and metal innovation!

 Robert Fripp and his genius remain dazzled by the heaviness of the distortions, the crazed synthesizers, the industrial-electronic instrumentation.

 The King we always knew is missing, failing in both areas with this work, which ends up being manneristic, inconclusive, unfocused.

King Crimson's 2003 album The Power To Believe attempts to fuse heavy distortions and electronic textures but suffers from cold production and a lack of focus. Despite some ideas and one standout track, the album feels pompous, manneristic, and ultimately disappointing compared to the band's historic work. It may serve as a symbolic endpoint for the group's classic era. Explore King Crimson's legacy and decide if The Power To Believe resonates with your taste in progressive rock.

 A modern western monument is erected, dark but not lacking in irony.

 The soundtrack was directly composed by the director, to draw an even more personal nightmare.

John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 is a masterful low-budget film blending craftsmanship, tension, and dark modern western themes. Set in a crime-ridden 1970s Los Angeles precinct, the story emphasizes atmosphere and psychological suspense over complex plot. The film's minimalistic characters and Carpenter's personal soundtrack deepen the sense of isolation and impending violence. Though considered a cult classic mostly for enthusiasts, it stands out against today's often over-the-top cinematic violence. Discover the intense atmosphere of Assault on Precinct 13—watch Carpenter's classic and experience a true cult modern western.

 Songs made of mud and tar, sometimes unbearable in their lugubrious distortions, intense but lacking in liberating moments.

 An honest work, primordial yet less avant-garde compared to other works by the group.

Endtyme by Cathedral reflects a dark, pessimistic return to doom metal’s roots amid a changing metal landscape around 2000. The album offers intense, lugubrious compositions with moments of beauty alongside less successful passages. Lee Dorrian and the band take a step back from avant-garde experimentation, focusing on oppressive, muddy soundscapes. The artwork reinforces the bleak mood. While honest and compelling, the album feels somewhat fatigued and interlocutory within their discography. Dive into Cathedral's Endtyme and experience a dark, atmospheric journey through doom metal's depths.

 The raw charm of The Legacy is gone, as are the baroque sounds of the imposing The New Order.

 The band does its homework by passing a layer of cheap plaster over old statues that should have remained untouched.

The review criticizes Testament's 'First Strike Still Deadly' for failing to capture the original raw energy of their early work. Despite modern production and technical precision, the album feels dull and impersonal. Key tracks lose their impact, and the band’s effort to update classics results in a disappointing listen. Overall, the album is seen as a misguided re-recording that pales in comparison to the originals. Discover why Testament's 'First Strike Still Deadly' didn't live up to expectations—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 The Carnival Bizarre is still one of their pinnacles, a decayed chest of sounds intensely pure in their bastard blend.

 A clear example of how one can craft music that is simultaneously dark and sunny, free.

Released in 1995, The Carnival Bizarre marks a pivotal moment in English doom metal, showcasing Cathedral's distinctive blend of heavy riffs and imaginative themes. The album honors Black Sabbath’s legacy while delivering dense, catchy, and psychedelic sounds. Key tracks like "Utopian Blaster" and "Vampire Sun" highlight the band’s creativity and talent. Despite being underrated, Cathedral’s raw and authentic approach sets this album apart from mainstream trends. Explore Cathedral's The Carnival Bizarre and experience a landmark doom metal journey full of heavy riffs and dark psychedelia.
