 "Queen Of The Reich" is perhaps the absolute best song of Queensrÿche, where all of Tate’s vocal abilities emerge.

 An excellent debut for a band that definitely deserved greater recognition.

Queensrÿche's self-titled EP is a well-executed blend of 80s classic metal with progressive metal elements. The band showcases impressive musicianship, led by Geoff Tate's exceptional vocals and Chris DeGarmo's songwriting. Songs like 'Queen of the Reich' and 'The Lady Wore Black' highlight their early talent and distinctive sound. The review praises the EP as a fundamental debut deserving wider recognition. Listen to Queensrÿche's debut EP and discover the roots of a classic metal legacy!

 The voices of Tankian and Malakian blend fairly well and result as very (too much) catchy (commercial?).

 A nice little album and that’s it, pleasant to listen to when you want uncommitted music.

Hypnotize, the complementary album to Mezmerize, remains true to System Of A Down's established sound. Featuring distorted guitars, oriental melodies, and catchy choruses, it offers party-ready tunes but lacks the raw originality of their early work. Standout tracks include 'Attack,' 'Holy Mountains,' and 'Soldier Side.' Overall, it is an enjoyable but somewhat commercial album suited for casual listening. Discover Hypnotize by System Of A Down—listen now to experience their unique blend of catchy metal and melodic madness!

 Awakening hour. A sonic earthquake that borders between Death and Thrash.

 When people say Thrash died in 1991, remember that in 1999 it resurrected thanks to Testament.

Testament's The Gathering is a landmark album blending thrash and death metal with brutal intensity. Featuring top musicians like Chuck Billy and Dave Lombardo, it resurrected thrash in 1999 with aggressive, technical, and exhilarating music. The album abandons solos for a devastating wall of sound and includes standout tracks such as 'D.N.R.', 'Legions of the Dead', and 'True Believer'. The Gathering is considered a masterpiece and a powerful comeback for the band. Listen to Testament's The Gathering and experience the raw power of thrash metal reborn!

 'Are You Dead Yet?' is a very technical album, but it doesn’t resonate.

 The solos lack feeling, they are uninspired.

This review critically examines Children Of Bodom's fifth album, 'Are You Dead Yet?'. Despite the band’s technical proficiency, the album lacks memorable melodies and emotional depth. The reviewer finds it a low point compared to earlier works, noting the diminished role of keyboards and a shift toward thrash and nu-metal influences. While a few tracks stand out, the overall impression is one of repetition and lost identity. Explore Children Of Bodom's evolving sound and decide if 'Are You Dead Yet?' lives up to their legacy.

 Stefano Baldo is a complete singer with a voice that truly touches the soul, capable of reaching very high tones, yet also warm and deep.

 If they keep up with expectations, they could establish themselves on an Italian level and beyond.

Crimson Sunset, a young metal band from Bolzano, showcases great potential with a free three-song demo blending Heavy and Prog Metal elements. The vocalist Stefano Baldo impresses with his range and depth, while guitarist Mattia Mariotti shines with technical solos.

Fans are encouraged to seek out their upcoming full-length debut. Listen to Crimson Sunset's demo tracks and follow their journey as they prepare for a full-length metal debut!

 A disappointment? Yes. From Dream Theater, one expects something entirely different.

 "Panic Attack" is literally a masterpiece, the song that makes the album worth it.

This review of Dream Theater's Octavarium expresses disappointment due to its lack of classic progressive metal elements and repetitive riffs. While some moments, like the track "Panic Attack," shine as highlights, much of the album feels uninspired. The vocal performance shows some variability, but the overall experience is lukewarm. The title track fails to live up to expectations, though the album contains some worthwhile pieces amid its lapses. Explore Dream Theater's Octavarium and discover if its highs outweigh the lows in this progressive metal journey.

 An album technically perfect, but with a hint of repetitiveness, which nonetheless does not diminish its value.

 All musicians have little to envy technically from Dream Theater.
