THE REVIEW

I've never listened to anything by Extrema except for a video that was once shown on macthmusic, and I think I'm truly lucky. June 24th, Jestrait Rock, live performance by Extrema. I'm not there for them, but they're there, so I write. First of all, there's an excess of equipment: a guitarist with 4 speakers and a bassist with two Ampeg cabinets when only one is needed, but let's wait; appearances often deceive, perhaps they really need them. The concert begins, and what's immediately evident is that appearances are confirmed: too much gear on stage, serving just to flaunt something unclear. After 2 songs, the urge to leave hits unprecedented heights. You realize that Extrema aren't young anymore, but they want to be at all costs, mixing pure metal, which I personally can't stand, with rehashed nu-metal. The cherry on top is an insult to Trapattoni, just to please the audience with a populist-national phrase. I think that after the insult, my ears went on a strike that continues indefinitely because they still can't comprehend what I forced them to hear. The advice I'll leave you with is to do with Extrema what I, as an Inter Milan fan, do with my beloved team: watch if you must, but if you have an alternative, choose that; you certainly won't regret it.
