 These Nasty Farmers know how to win you over.

 Simplicity has prevailed, and believe me, this could be Nasty Farmers’ big advantage: doing things in a simple and intuitive way.

Nasty Farmers’ album The Strawman Fallacy delivers a refined blend of 70s-inspired old-school rock, moving away from pure stoner rock. The band showcases improved songwriting and a charming artistic approach, complemented by striking album artwork. The review highlights simplicity as the album’s strength and the band’s maturation since their debut. Listen to The Strawman Fallacy and experience Nasty Farmers' captivating old-school rock vibe today!

 The five tracks on this EP are indeed well-crafted, at times even surprising through some unusual choices made.

 It’s better to start from some interesting elements, like the excellent title track... but it urgently needs a generous dose of courage.

Drawing Memories' EP 'Portraits' presents a solid alternative rock proposal with a vocal style blending screamo, growl, and melody. The production is well-crafted, especially the title track with a post sound influence. However, the band struggles with standing out amid fierce competition, lacking bold innovation. The review suggests that embracing more daring artistic choices is essential to avoid long-term regrets. Overall, 'Portraits' is a promising start but needs more courage to make a distinctive mark. Listen to Drawing Memories' Portraits EP and explore the promising sounds of Turin's alternative scene.

 The aim is to approach metal in an "alternative" manner, meaning not self-categorizing into a specific genre but rather trying to give broad breath to their artistic proposal.

 The singing needs to be "refined": the more melodic parts are good, but the growl definitely needs to be reviewed and reinterpreted, it’s more than a little forced.

Red Light For Distortion's debut EP Iron[y] Weapons shows promise in blending groove, crossover, and thrash metal without binding to a strict genre. The band demonstrates good technical skills and a surprising melodic track but needs more refined songwriting and vocal work, especially on growls. This EP marks a solid starting point with room for artistic development. Listen to Iron[y] Weapons and witness Red Light For Distortion’s raw potential in the metal scene!

 Their formula—albeit predictable—I like it.

 'Air Gun' features power, melody, and that catchy streak that seems to mark the DNA of the band.

NEW REASON's EP Air Gun offers a familiar yet enjoyable US-core sound reminiscent of A Day To Remember. The band delivers catchy, melodic tracks with powerful growls and solid production. The choice of an EP format keeps the quality consistent without risking filler content. Highlights include 'The Best Things Of Our Life' and 'My Price,' which stand strong against similar overseas works. Overall, an engaging release from Alessandria's emerging heavy music scene. Listen to NEW REASON's Air Gun EP now and experience fresh US-core energy with catchy melodies and powerful growls!

 This album is a journey through the depths of the self, the first book of a saga made of sounds and noises, visions and reality.

 A track like 'Gravity' or the metal assault of the central part of 'Antidote' are examples of how eccentric and at the same time captivating these guys are.

Aseptic White Age's debut album Reminiscence is a peculiar and captivating instrumental concept work blending post-metal, avant-garde, and progressive influences. Characterized by planned improvisations and fluctuating moods, it challenges listeners with its complexity and originality. The album is self-produced and enriched by the innovative use of saxophone, appealing to a niche audience open to experimental sounds. Dive into the unique world of Aseptic White Age and explore their intriguing instrumental journey on Reminiscence now!

 It’s truly a great record from every point of view.

 Raintown are certainly among them, through tracks like 'August 25', 'Something For Me', and 'My Freedom', simple and effective examples of modern rock with guts.

Raintown's debut album Ocean impresses with modern alternative rock full of emotion and energy. The band showcases strong musical talent and seamless production. Angelo Bordonaro's warm, clear voice shines across diverse tracks. Songs like "August 25" and "My Freedom" highlight their ability to craft catchy singles with a big sound. This album positions Raintown among the standout underground bands of 2015. Listen to Raintown's Ocean now and experience fresh, heartfelt alternative rock from Turin’s rising stars!

 It’s an album that tastes of old school, certainly not new.

 This work is sincerely an example of a 'work in progress' that will hardly thrill anyone.

Falling Dice's debut album 'Restless' combines metalcore and heavy riffs but struggles with originality and focus. The production uses dated 90s sounds, and the songwriting feels uninspired. Comparisons to bands like Mudvayne and Rise Against seem misplaced. Though not terrible, it ultimately feels like a work in progress unlikely to excite listeners. Discover the honest take on Falling Dice's debut and decide if 'Restless' fits your metalcore playlist!

 What to do to be the photocopy of a thousand other photocopies?!

 You know the formula well: overly effected vocals, a heavy use of electronics, and a sound that combines modern metal elements with others typically core.

Breathe Me In's Inhale Exhale tries to blend metalcore with dub and synth elements but feels unoriginal and out of place. Despite some musical skill, most of the album falls into overused genre clichés. The track 'Another Story' shows versatility, but the album overall fails to stand out. Fans of the genre may find something to appreciate, but others might want to look elsewhere. Listen to Breathe Me In's Inhale Exhale to explore a modern metalcore blend or discover new Italian metal talent.

 The sounds are warm and expertly balanced, the vocals manage to be gritty in the 'hotter' moments and soothe the listener during the various melo-oriented episodes.

 None Of Us musically approaches the Staind of the golden years, with powerful riff guitars and that sonic wall that surrounds and almost dazes.

None Of Us, a Sicilian alternative rock band, delivers a solid fifth album, 'Black Foundation,' combining warm, balanced sounds with gritty and melodic vocals. The music echoes Staind's golden years with powerful riffs and a stoner rock influence. While the vocal production in melodic passages feels slightly cold, the album overall impresses with quality and experience. Its appealing artwork complements the sound, making it a commendable addition to their discography. Listen to None Of Us' 'Black Foundation' for a rich, warm alternative rock experience with a stoner twist.

 The animalistic growl is something really compelling and perfectly at ease in a sound context that is anything but rosy.

 The group, although abusing the classic breakdown rhythms, boasts extremely skilled guitarists who give character to every single track.

Nothing I Know's 'Through' is a Modena-based metalcore album that impresses with impactful growls and skilled guitar work. Though the melodic vocal lines lack impact, the album remains engaging, especially for live settings. Production quality is high, and the band balances classic metalcore elements with distinctive musical character. Listen to 'Through' by Nothing I Know and experience fresh metalcore energy from Modena's thriving scene!
