Rating: "Positive Pressure" is the second album from the historic Italian metal band, Extrema.
A concentration of technical skill and rage characterizes this album dated 1994, the songs on the record are all gems, there are no lulls, and the CD flows without boring the listener.
Spectacular is "To Hell", characterized by 80's thrash riffs and a structure that closely ties to the new metal that would soon explode, demonstrating that eXtrema are always ahead.
Spectacular is "The Positive Pressure", which also gives the album its title, a true piece of old school thrash metal.
The technical execution by the instrumentalists is excellent, with Tommy Massara's guitar taking center stage throughout the record, intricate riffs and great solos from what I believe is one of the best Italian metal guitarists.
So an album not to be missed for those wanting to know the origins of Italian Thrash metal, and, of course, for those not yet convinced that there are also bands in Italy that have nothing to envy from foreign ones.

A truly great piece in perfect Extrema style, where maximum speed, anger, and some small funky bass parts can be heard.
Tommy Massara continues to play divinely, managing to create incredible sounds, and you can hear, especially in the final part of the track, an interesting saxophone part, an unusual instrument in metal.
