 Destrage have succeeded in their attempt to blend Mathcore with catchiness without falling into the ridiculous for even a second.

 I keep imagining them singing and playing with a smile on their face, regardless of the inverted crosses and pitbull grimaces that the genre now serves up.

The band’s technical skill shines without falling into sterile virtuosity, and their ironic, playful attitude adds refreshing energy. Influences from Lamb of God, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Every Time I Die are evident, yet the band maintains a unique identity. The reviewer predicts Destrage deserves wider recognition beyond Italy. Listen to Destrage's 'The King Is Fat’n’Old' and experience extreme metal with a playful twist today!

 There's nothing to do: if a band has a very good singer, for me, we're already halfway there.

 Karnivool have courage: it could have been a potential hit if it lasted the canonical 3’30”, if the structure of the piece had been the usual verse/chorus/solo/chorus.

Karnivool's 'Sound Awake' impresses with its strong vocal performance and adventurous musical exploration. The album avoids mainstream clichés with long, complex tracks and sophisticated guitar work. Though some drumming lacks creativity, the band's evolution and maturity stand out. Fans of progressive and alternative rock will find much to appreciate in this Australian band's promising release. Dive into Karnivool's Sound Awake and experience progressive rock at its finest—listen to this bold and captivating album now!

 This album unconsciously calls me, because its veiled underlying sadness makes me feel better, making me less alone.

 These IME could have been the right bridge between the immediacy of Amplifier and the introspection of Oceansize.

 Charming, spontaneous, and fun even in the "darker" moments.
