 One of the best bands in the Italian scene that breathes new life and vitality into the vibrant yet somewhat flat sonic underground of our country.

 The crazy quintet offers screams, whispers in intimate anguish, moments of melody, then plunges back into brutal reality.

The Death Of Anna Karina is praised as one of Italy's best bands, revitalizing the underground with a unique emo-violence style. Their intense, intelligent vocals and diverse sound blend punk, jazz, and psychedelia. The album is challenging but promising, deserving wider recognition beyond Italy. Listen to The Death Of Anna Karina and experience a powerful emo-violence blend redefining the Italian underground!

 Jonathan Davis managed quite well in his complex soundtrack debut.

 The real revelation is 'Forsaken,' masterfully sung by David Draiman, who truly pours his soul into the chorus.

The Queen of the Damned soundtrack, composed by Jonathan Davis and Richard Gibbs, is a solid debut blending dark and industrial styles. Featuring contributions from well-known artists like David Draiman, Chester Bennington, and Marilyn Manson, the album delivers standout tracks such as 'Forsaken' and 'Not Meant for Me.' Despite some weaker moments, the album is a worthy entry in soundtrack music, though not yet reaching the brilliance of Trent Reznor’s work. Listen to the Queen of the Damned soundtrack for a dark, powerful mix of rock and industrial sounds from top artists!

 "Thanks to the mixing work of the legendary Andy Sneap, the sounds... are captivating, emotional, and infuriating like few others."

 Brock Lindow’s voice is as captivating as ever, engaging at every turn, with the rest of the band accompanying him on this journey through EMOtions and sufferings.

36 Crazyfists' second album, 'A Snow Capped Romance,' marks a notable shift from nu-metal to an emo-metal hybrid. With Andy Sneap's expert mixing and Brock Lindow's captivating vocals, the album delivers emotional depth and energy. Influences from bands like Poison the Well and Underoath are present, yet the band maintains a distinct identity. The reviewer eagerly anticipates their live performance in Italy. Listen to 'A Snow Capped Romance' and experience 36 Crazyfists’ emotional and powerful emo-metal sound.

 A gem where noise rock, post-hardcore, and more collide, forming a massive wall of blood, tears, and muscles that everyone should bang their head against.

 If you love the new Hardcore school and its typical desperation, make it yours, absolutely.

Deadguy's 1995 album Fixation On A Coworker, released by Victory Records, delivers a powerful fusion of noise rock and post-hardcore. The album combines the desperation and intensity reminiscent of Dillinger Escape Plan with the claustrophobic atmospheres of Converge and Coalesce. Tracks like 'Die With Your Mask On' and 'Crazy Eddie' showcase the album's originality and intense emotional delivery. This record is highly recommended for fans of the newer hardcore scene. Listen to Deadguy's Fixation On A Coworker to experience hardcore noise at its finest!

 The world is on fire... and what a fire damn it! Metalcore heavy as a rock, much heavier than Biohazard had ever done.

 This album is more than decent... it gives a good half hour of music made with passion, sincerity, and experience.

The reviewer initially approached Kill or Be Killed with low expectations due to previous underwhelming work and a shift in personal music taste. Upon listening, the album surprised with its heavy metalcore style, explosive drums, and passionate vocals. While not groundbreaking in originality, it delivers sincere, energetic music from experienced band members. The album reflects the gritty New York roots of the band. Listen to Biohazard's Kill or Be Killed for authentic metalcore energy and raw passion from New York's hard-hitting veterans.

 The real highlight of this EP is the White Pony epk, an 8-minute short film presenting an apocalyptic, poetic scenario.

 Deftones were born in 1988, while Korn in 1993; this dispels the supposed influence and shows Deftones' superiority.

The Back To School EP is recommended primarily for devoted Deftones fans familiar with their earlier work. It includes original, acoustic, and live versions of key tracks, alongside a captivating apocalyptic short film. The review also highlights the band's historical legacy and distinguishes their influences from contemporaries like Korn. Overall, it celebrates Deftones as one of the best alternative bands from the 90s to today. Dive into Deftones’ Back To School EP and experience rare live tracks and the stunning White Pony short film today!

Overall, it is considered a fresh and brilliant contribution to Italian alternative rock. Listen to Laghetto's 'Pocapocalisse' and experience a fresh, original take on Italian post-core rock today!

 These Candiria have created an album that, in my opinion, is a milestone in that genre where all existing music merges, usually called post-core.

 Meshugghian tempos blend perfectly with an exceptional drum for precision and technique and with a singer who effortlessly transitions from Hatebreed-style hardcore to old school hip hop.

Candiria's album 300% Density showcases an impressive blend of metal, hardcore, jazz, and hip hop. The band's ability to fluidly shift rhythms and styles marks the album as a significant post-core work. Despite one somewhat outdated hip hop track, the album ultimately delivers a passionate and skillful listening experience with a unique fusion sound. Explore Candiria’s groundbreaking mix of genres—listen to 300% Density and experience post-core mastery!
