Best artist Metal of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ “One of the things I am most proud of, in my heart, is that Black Sabbath was not created by any big shot... we were four losers who wanted to try to make a dream come true, which ultimately did, exceeding all expectations.”

❝ Black Sabbath practically invented heavy metal out of nothing.

❝ We were not hippies, and we hated the hippies

❝ Everything is accomplished: the sixteenth birth of the famous Iron Maiden has already started to whisper its occult rituals in the eardrums of all of us.

❝ They play like gods, there’s not much to add.

❝ A year lived dangerously, at the limits of human musical possibilities, and ending in Los Angeles after touching Japan, Brazil, Hawaii, and Australia.

❝ Among the "Big Four" of thrash metal, alongside Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth.

❝ And they’ve written unforgettable pages for crying out loud...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL...

❝ CARVED UPON MY STONE, MY BODY LIE BUT STILL I ROAM.

❝

For over 30 years, Slayer, to quote a fine thinker of our time, have been the best at what they do.

❝

The Slayer have broken up.

❝

If Metallica in the '80s played with heart, and Megadeth were cerebral, Slayer can only be physical and use muscles.

❝ Unstoppable.

❝ A band that has always, and I mean always, adhered to this ideal is Saxon.

❝ This album takes your breath away from start to finish, not a single slow piece, not a single guitar without distortion.

❝ ...What is Metal? METAL IS PAINKILLER!

❝ Year 1976: the genre of Heavy Metal is officially born, and if this happens, we mainly owe it to the second work of Judas Priest, with the poetic name of Sad Wings of Destiny.

❝ A live that has truly made history and which I consider inimitable and unattainable in importance and beauty.

❝ "The Trend Is Dead!!!"

❝ "Far Beyond Driven" is perhaps their masterpiece, their peak of success.

❝ "...Society is looking at this and saying, 'This is heavy metal.' That's not heavy metal, that's an insane act.."

❝ "So just say goodbye to all your fucking angels!!!"

❝ "I think Melissa's still with us"

❝ "A reunion of Mercyful Fate? I could never say no..."

❝ Unjustly forgotten, the Sir Lord Baltimore are a power-trio from New York who left a scorching mark on the music scene with their debut in 1970, with the album "Kingdom Come," to be considered as a true example of heavy metal ante litteram.

❝ They have personality to spare, and they possess enough irony and persistence that their brand and their notes are undeniably recognizable.

❝ To love them is a dirty job, but someone will have to do it, oh yes … I open by paraphrasing Bonnie Tyler and Todd Rundgren, and perhaps also taking a bit of a trip down memory lane, trying to recall how this great love of mine was born …

❝ Sonne is one of the most beautiful and famous tracks by Rammstein, a single from the album "Mutter" (2001) that has been a constant presence in all their concert setlists since then.

❝ The Motorhead, you either love them or hate them.

❝ We usually get drunk, play, and fall off the stage. Not necessarily in that order.

❝ We are Motörhead, and we play Rock 'N' Roll!

❝ "Follow The Blind!"

❝ "Farewell, He said...Back to where it all began..."

❝ I looked closely at the mirror and gazed through it: I saw a fantastic world made of ruined houses and skies dominated by dragons moving from one side to the other.

❝ Physics, sex, suffering, death, suicide, God, and whores.

❝ “Do you believe in forever? I don’t even believe in tomorrow…”

❝ Take life with more irony, that’s the advice from the Brooklyn four.

❝ This is the best album ever composed by a band of semi-deities, and anyone who denies it doesn’t understand a damn thing about True Music!

❝ Tool is a group that undeniably has managed to create a style distinctly different from any other.

❝ The album starts immediately rough, hard, and uncensored: "Stinkfist" is a perhaps ambiguous metaphor in which the "sweet" experience of fist-fucking symbolizes the desensitization of the spirit and the constant pushing of boundaries to continue feeling emotions.

❝ For the person writing to you, the best band of the last 25 years.

❝ Go without bread, for once, but by divine goodness, not without a work like this one.

❝ These gentlemen are extraordinary, no doubt about it: enjoy listening and welcome back to Isis.

❝ “The most powerful, dark, and varied of our career.”

❝ Evergrey are a guarantee, we know that by now.

❝ There are moments in life when everything is gray: for those who are fortunate, or simply too foolish, these moments are few and brief; for some, they can last a lifetime.

❝ “The Land Of Rape And Honey”, an album from 1988, is their masterpiece, an explosive mix of hardcore, garage, noise, and industrial, but above all one of the most shocking albums of all time, certainly one of the most important and effective musical acts of denunciation.

❝ An immortal work, an album that if you put it in the player today, still kicks ass exactly like in 1992: same power, same freshness, same audacity.

❝ “Dark Side Of The Spoon” was created by Ministry during a period, 1997/8 (and released in 1999) of profound depression for the two masterminds of the project (namely the singer and guitarist Al Jourgensen and the legendary bassist and programmer Paul Barker, the true cornerstone of Ministry’s songwriting from 1988-2003):

❝ Once upon a time.

❝ The essence of the true Sepultura led by Max Cavalera.

❝ “The most avant-garde metal album that will ever be made”

❝ A suicide.

❝ “Innovative. Avant garde. Brave. Brutal. Bizarre. Electrifying. Unique.”

❝ Pentagram do doom

❝ This collection is highly recommended.

❝ It is precisely Liebling who is the band's trademark, by virtue of his sick, slithering, acidic, and perverted vocals, which blend well with his luciferian and magnetic figure, making him a purebred stage animal.

❝ “I enjoyed the concert of one of the greatest bands in history at their prime: the Megadeth of “Rust in Peace”.”

❝ “The album in question is a bomb, fast, vicious, with a devastating sound, a complete, dynamic work, among the best Megadeth has ever produced, not just in the recent period.”

❝ “Contrary to its title, “Rust In Peace” proves to be an indestructible work.”

❝ Holy Diver is one of those rare albums that you listen to with immense pleasure even after a long time.

❝ This posthumous release is a product of excellent quality and great appeal, both for the fan and the newcomer, who can get an idea of what "Dio" was at the time, a true and immortal rock'n'roll band. Recommended

❝ "Dio’s Inferno," in fact, proves to be a quality product, well-played – it would be impossible to expect otherwise – and with a rather balanced setlist, drawing a bit from the entire discography of the New York sprite.

❝ This is in my opinion the most important work by Bathory from the genius Quorthon (RIP).

❝ Cold. The song of the North, an electric waltz of dim lights among the pines, a giant with a head covered in moss, a distant sun, a glimmer amidst sleepy heaths buried under inches of powdery snow.

❝ Quorton was already looking beyond, already ahead of his disciples.

❝ this is the first review we're doing on what, in my opinion, is the best Korn album, the angriest one.

❝ "There is a place in my mind that I love to hide"

❝ Having Korn perform an Unplugged concert is like putting Nutella on a nice plate of macaroni: it doesn't make any damn sense!

❝ Five songs in thirty-five minutes. Raw, imperfect.

❝ Dirty, wasted, stinky, hallucinated, psychedelic, heavy, weird. Saint Vitus.

❝ Saint Vitus have returned. They have done so cautiously and without much courage.

❝ "Scum", as we know, is now history, a work that shines more for its conceptual significance than for its intrinsic content, a work that, for better or worse, marked a point of rupture and no return in the history of music as a whole.

❝ The fathers of Grindcore are back; once again to confirm their absolute dominance... Coded Smears and More Uncommon Slurs... Ad Maiora.

❝ "You Suffer But Why" screams Nicholas Bullen with his cavernous growl.

❝ The music of Mastodon is the sound of nature.

❝ We waited for them for years!

❝ Crack The Skye is a work that needs time to be fully appreciated.

❝ Because when someone gargles with muriatic acid, concrete nails, and the metal spheres of stainless steel bearings and then screams in your face with all the strength and wheezing desperation they possess "STACCALASPINA", for me they are the undisputed champion of the entire (un)known universe in terms of elegiac assorted poetics.

❝ In memory of Chuck "Evil" Schuldiner May 13, 1967 - December 13, 2001

❝ The best compositions, the best lyrics, the best musicians, the best mediation between classic and experimental... the best work of Death.

❝ Practically, the "Bible of melodic power metal" that has been popular for the last decade.

❝ Helloween came back just when I least expected it: it was about time!!!

❝ This thing called an album is a nightmare come true, it’s an abomination, it’s inexplicable trash, it’s pure crap, it’s the worst album I never bought

❝ Coal Chamber can, in a sense, be considered the purists of nu metal: throughout their rather brief and tumultuous career, they released only three official albums and never showed any ignoble tendencies towards easy listening, not even when nu metal was a genre of mass consumption.

❝ What emerges is a surreal and horrific atmosphere, an unrelenting psychotic rage, with dark tones (amplified in later works) that make the album a real gem for fans of the genre.

❝ In short, I hope this "Quick Review" was enjoyable and makes you want to listen to Coal Chamber even more, a band that represents nu metal in all its characteristics.

❝ indeed, it is the definitive summary of everything that concerns Female-Fronted Gothic Metal.

❝ that album is and will forever be the Bible of Gothic Metal

❝ “Illumination” is the definitive consecration of Tristania in the pantheon of gothic metal.

❝ “All I need is a simple reminder...”

❝ “We always try not to repeat ourselves”

❝ “I don’t really know what sorry means”

❝ “Streetcleaner” is not just a masterpiece of industrial metal, one of the most influential chapters in extreme music ever, the perfect vade mecum of how this music should be conceived, composed, and executed.

❝ It's my album of 2023.

❝ “YOU ARE BEWITCHED!”

❝ “Because Candlemass are “everything that sounds Doom today” in an absolute sense.”

❝ “To hatred, bitterness, suffering, discouragement, and drunkenness: without you, this record would not have been possible”

❝ Few words for this album destined to change the course of extreme music history.

❝ Evolution. What a spectacle. And what a strangeness.

❝ My verdict on the new Carcass album is totally, absolutely negative.

❝ "Break up or continue?" they must have asked themselves.

❝ The fairest final judgment would be four and a half, but since it can't be, for now, it's a nice four.

❝ One cannot deny that Accept are destined for metal greatness.

❝ Accept in 2017 have regained the popularity and respect they rightfully deserve

❝ Unlike many other bands returning to their genre, Accept have never changed style, always being direct and consistent.

❝ The second track is my absolute favorite of the group: "Debonaire". This song is an obvious critique of everything owned by the rich, the spoiled, and the powerful.

❝ Take equal parts of Neurosis, Kyuss, and of course Isis; blend them together, and you will faintly see the elephantine, slow, monumental sound approach of Pelican in the distance.

❝ Their instrumental music leaves no escape: moments of lightness are few but well-balanced within an album that has sudden bursts of genius and at the same time an immense amount of riffs that build upon themselves, forcefully trying to bring out the most powerful and fitting to the melody.

❝ A flow. A continuous flow of notes that overlap each other, without any respect for one another, distortions that make post-core their reason for being, oppressive and destabilizing sludge-doom reminiscences, stoner glimpses like tears that fall, walls of sound that rise to transform into whispers, apocalyptic tension and lyrical pacification, drone-ambient atmospheres that obscure every word, every breath, every thought.

❝ "At the moment I'm fine, I dare say. I had stage three lymphoma so I was told not to have illusions, it could return at any time. This is one of the reasons we decided to end our live activity. The problem isn't the concerts, but the long journeys and the schedules we keep. It's a negative thing for me because it affects my health. I love playing with the band and it's really sad that this is the last tour we're doing"; "The Black Sabbath have always been my life and everything, including marriages, has always revolved around them".

❝ A luxury retiree then? Tony’s answer seems to be dry and imposing. We can only acknowledge it with great joy.

❝ "The nine prophets enter in the dark and immediately it is madness."

❝ "IF YOU'RE THE 555 THEN I'M 666!!!"

❝ "All Hope Is Gone" is an album that's already been released, specifically for a while now.

❝ The most suitable label to describe them is perhaps "out-of-control music."

❝ Listen to die.

❝ This machine kills everybody.

❝ Believe me, on this album, Lione has done a monstrous job, limiting the high notes and giving more 'importance' to the interpretative component; truly an excellent result.

❝ Do not expect, therefore, any revolutions, even though the album is enjoyable to listen to, characterized by many mid-tempos in which orchestral sounds almost drown out the classic metal ones, shifting, as mentioned above, the balance more towards the symphonic component than the metal one.

❝ “Dark Wings of Steel” is an anomalous record, full of lights and shadows, clouded by the mysticism that veils not only its atmosphere but also its creation.

❝ “Legalize Drugs & Murder”

❝ “Yet they rock.”

❝ “The first time it's kind of like being hit by a steam train hurtling at enormous speed (20bpm) while you sink into concrete.”

❝ I say Voivod and I immediately write PERFECTION!!! Never a wrong album in 35+ years of career. Psychedelic-mutant, evolutionary, space Thrash Metal.

❝ They are Voivod, the flying Canadian masters...THE WORLD TODAY...

❝ Killing Technology” is the third phase of that process of deconstructing the thrash genre that will lead Voivod to the most beautiful pages of their career.

❝ No one sounds like them: unique, formidable, and daunting.

❝ I consists of a single track that exceeds 20 minutes.

❝ If Warhol wanted to "become a machine," Meshuggah have come very close to fulfilling that wish, indeed, they sound like a machine.

❝ What an album, folks!

❝ And Tooth And Nail is undoubtedly their masterpiece.

❝ Ultimately, I consider Back For The Attack the masterpiece of Dokken, as surely understood.

❝ "Sit down children, I'm going to tell you a story..."

❝ As you might have guessed, Abigail is a stunning metal concept album where the horror themes so dear to our King Diamond blend with energy and creativity into the gothic fabric and black nuances of his music.

❝ “Them”, the third solo work by King Diamond, is undoubtedly one of the most unsettling metal works ever conceived, certainly one of the most complex and ambitious projects by him which unfolds in two parts (the sequel being “Conspiracy”), brilliant in both lyrics and music, a blend of genuine, brilliant classy heavy metal, sinister and catchy, powerful and ominous.

❝ Mushroomhead made headlines a few years ago due to a dispute with the well-known nu-metal group Slipknot over the mask issue, which both bands share.

❝ The album's highlight, in my opinion, is "Sun Doesn't Rise," simply stunning; it hit me from the first listen (the rap-scream part is very beautiful), but it will only be an isolated episode.

❝ A masterpiece of Italian metal.

❝ It's useless to beat around the bush: Novembre have invented a new Metal genre.

❝ Novembre are a pride of Italy. Hold them close… as you enter Nothijngrad…

❝ This is an album that changed my life.

❝ Serj Tankian's voice cannot simply be called the voice of a singer; sometimes screamed, sometimes manic, sometimes sweet, it adds a touch of originality and uniqueness to the already splendid music signed by System Of A Down.

❝ A good album, but not at the levels of "Toxicity" where the band brought out the best of themselves with simply stunning songs.

❝ Doom Made In USA, so no Albion refinements or carbon-copy Shakespearean citations.

❝ With Down, being angry has never been so much fun.

❝ Built on a solid Sabbathian base, Nola is an album that will not disappoint fans of hard-hitting rock

❝ Still relevant today Highly recommended!!

❝ 'March of the S.O.D.' was shaking the ears of the neighbors, but no one had the strength to get up to turn down the volume or, at most, put on the beloved Cecchetto compilation.

❝ THEY ARE BACK!

❝ Black Metal is not a genre like the others, it is truth.

❝ All smoke and no fire.

❝ Few albums possess an intensity comparable to Through Silver In Blood.

❝ The Eye of Every Storm is therefore a work to be promoted with full marks, another success in the catalog of the Californian band, to be worthily placed in your discotheque, alongside the other masterpieces of the group.

❝ A Neurosis concert isn't a concert: it's a journey, at the end of which you're not exhausted, you're destroyed. Physically and psychologically.

❝ “The Ulver are the living proof that music has neither boundaries nor genres.”

❝ “Ulver is a schizophrenic band.”

❝ “Wolves evolves once again”.

❝ “Act III” is a timeless album, never banal in its arrangements, with at least 7 high-level tracks, the result of the enthusiasm of five guys who, in three years, play what bands take 20 years of career to put together.

❝ I give it the highest rating because I consider it one of the masterpieces of Thrash metal, so the score is based on the genre of which this album is a testament!

❝ Death Angel seems to have a compositional urgency they haven’t shown in years, which, despite the classical setup, maintains a force and quality level that doesn’t clash with the repetitiveness of the formula.

❝ I just wanted a Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me!! Just a Pepsi!!

❝ You may end up loving this group or hating it, but surely the work of Cyco and his companions will not leave you indifferent.

❝ Solid and fiercely angry... I'LL HATE YOU BETTER...

❝ One foot in hell, Cirith Ungol had in practice throughout their entire career.

❝ Cirith Ungol were a cornerstone of '80s Epic Metal, representing its most decadent and dark soul.

❝ The final yet underrated effort from the fundamental Heavy/Epic Metal band known as Cirith Ungol, "Paradise Lost" was released in 1991 under Restless Records.

❝ The greatest Metalcore album of all time?

❝ The album, engaging and well self-produced, sets the standards of the Killswitch Engage sound and lays the foundation for the subsequent masterpiece "Alive or Just Breathing".

❝ Killswitch Engage you either love them or hate them.

❝ Extremely underrated, eclectic, intelligent, and endowed with that typical German sardonic humor; these are the qualities that most distinguish Oomph!

❝ Wunschkind, probably the darkest album in the entire Neue Deutsche Härte scene; uncompromising, claustrophobic, dark, sick, and cathartic,

❝ it’s Dero and co.’s most pop and accessible album, a smooth, inspired, flashy enough and above all fun album that turns out to be exciting.

❝ In conclusion: "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" is a timeless classic, Mayhem's masterpiece and a must for anyone who wants to get an idea of what Black Metal is or get closer to this subgenre.

❝ "Come on Leipzig. Come on!!! Join us pure fucking Armageddon!!!"

❝ A few weeks ago "Ordo Ad Chao" was released, and it's terrible. Very much so.

❝ "When silence beckons And the day is closing When the light of your life sighs And love dies in your eyes Only then will I realize What you mean to me"

❝ A once in a lifetime experience that words can barely do justice

❝ Anathema no longer play metal.

❝ “It’s Me God” is an authentic M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E. Truly authentic.

❝ An unmissable album, a continuous stream of genius: pure sublimation of post-hardcore in all its forms.

❝ Listening to "Venom" makes one regret the fact that Breach have now disbanded, an album that, even today, is one of the highest peaks of a certain way of understanding music.

❝ The Captain Beyond are a genuine Californian prog-rock musical meteor formed way back in 1972

❝ This is the midpoint between Led Zeppelin and Metallica.

❝ In short, a wasted opportunity that still cries for revenge today.

❝ "Canterbury" was a kind of protected and unspoiled oasis in the English heavy metal scene of the time.

❝ I don't wanna stop, fuck! I'm Ozzy Osbourne and fuck reality, money, and everything else!

❝ Make it yours.

❝ “I quote a phrase from one of the early albums and then a phrase from this “Solar Soul”: “Love is a poison which flourishes in the heart of the weak” Converting doubt and hate, into love and faith”

❝ “You will understand it right from the first track “Rain””

❝ “Founded in 1990 and devoted to Black Metal from the very beginning”

❝ It's a wake up call. We’ve become our own worst enemies. Civil discourse has become the exception instead of the norm. People have lost themselves in outrage addiction

❝ A fucking splendid album.

❝ In short, in a perfect world, Disturbed would have made only two albums with the first six tracks of each of their LPs

❝ “Ghost In The Ruins” is the testament that Savatage wants to leave to their fans to remember that Criss will never be forgotten, and even if he was never one of those guitarists inclined to interviews and praise, in fact, for much of his career in Savatage he was never seen in a good light by critics, his music and passion are still alive in the hearts of those who have always appreciated him, and want to continue remembering him.

❝ With this quote begins what can easily be considered the musical masterpiece of the symphonic-baroque era of Savatage: “Dead Winter Dead”.

❝ The following album “Gutter Ballet,” from 1989, alongside “Streets: a Rock Opera,” represents the peak of Savatage’s career.

❝ “Atmospheres filled with anxiety and anger, a dark tunnel where our most anguishing fears manifest, moments of pure desperation accompanied by others of apparent tranquility. A path where it is impossible not to get lost…”

❝ “Black in the strict sense of the term, except for some reminiscence, has completely disappeared, as have the atmospheres of the first albums, lost also due to the impeccable and clean production.”

❝ “When you listen to it, turn off the lights, so the darkness can take possession of you…”

❝ Dissection indeed represents the perfect synthesis of a certain way of understanding metal music: they created a style that incorporates the characteristics of the two main extreme genres that found fertile ground in Northern Europe, death metal and black metal, and they combined them with the melodic influences characteristic of classic metal from the eighties.

❝ The fourth song is perhaps the most famous by Dissection: "Where Dead Angels Lie", a rare example of black metal ballad, where more marked acoustic breaks give the song an aura of melancholy, accentuated by the sad lyrics: "A spell was cast and the sky turned red/ The angel's heart froze to ice/ In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie".

❝ The charismatic frontman Jon Nodtveidt brings to life a record that lays the foundations for a new conception of the genre to which it claims to belong...

❝ Viva Emptiness is a journey into true and sincere darkness.

❝ Describing Katatonia’s masterpiece, now dated 1996, without exaggeration is utterly impossible.

❝ Katatonia dispel any doubts that had crept in of late and close a circle probably fueling all the class they had in the tank; nothing better could have been asked for.

❝ "Growers Of Mushroom" is the only album produced by Leaf Hound, a rock-blues band from the densely populated English underground scene of the early '70s.

❝ Venom came from the trash, became famous by mixing punk nonsense with formulas extracted from the little satanist's manual, and created great turmoil without really knowing much, but expressed through their ramblings more than they intended to.

❝ What are you waiting for? Make it yours along with the previous 3 albums: Possessed is Venom 100%.

❝ Venom have the privilege and merit of having marked an entire genre, a stylistic current, with the title of their album, ("Black Metal").

❝ Manowar is a complex band, much more so than critics and "experts" might think.

❝ Beyond their questionable image and attitude, Manowar remains, by virtue of albums like this one, a great band, which shares nothing with the current Power Metal bands so useless and inconsistent, who vainly try to emulate their feats.

❝ The album, allow me to say it, is awful.

❝ This "Squawk" is certainly a small masterpiece of creativity and imagination, where each track shines with its own life and light, while at the same time managing to develop the band's more Heavy and weighty side. A work unjustly ignored at the time but should be rediscovered.

❝ What emerges is a work that fits perfectly within the historical context of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, important for the genre and for the influences it has managed to direct towards the entire Metal movement.

❝ "Breadfan", the first work of the album, is introduced by a snappy riff, made famous by Metallica, fast and rapid, one is stunned by the compositional skills of the trio, but above all, as I have already said, by the voice of Bourge supported and well blended by the continuous explosive scales of Shelley and Bourge himself.

❝ The Earthride have been wallowing in the stoner-doom swamp more or less since 2000, but Dave Sherman, here frontman, is also the bassist of Spirit Caravan, and drummer Eric Little comes from Internal Void.

❝ Listening is not recommended, but mandatory.

❝ Raw, tough, filthy. These are Earthride, a vile creation whose parents are Dave Sherman (formerly of Spirit Caravan and Wretched) and Eric Little (formerly of Internal Void).

❝ And Elvenking have finally grown and blossomed.

❝ To grasp the chameleonic capabilities of Elvenking, I invite you to quickly listen to the well-crafted singles “Another Awful Hobs Tale” and “Not My Final Song“, to dedicate more time to the acoustic versions of “Winter Wake” and “The Wanderer“.

❝ A class act by a band that manages to distinguish themselves brilliantly, on the Italian scene and beyond.

❝ YEAHHH!!! HELLO EVERYONE, THIS IS MY VERY FIRST REVIEW AND I HOPE YOU LIKE IT OTHERWISE OH WELL!

❝ I conclude by saying that this is one of the albums to have, and I think that after just one listen, you realize the beauty and simplicity with which Udo, without overdoing it, allows those who obviously love the band in question to enjoy and spend an hour in the company of great music, which often helps us overcome bad moments and sometimes, I repeat, makes you want to conquer the world!!!

❝ Not bad at all.

❝ Wednesday 13 confirms himself as very skilled in writing catchy choruses that can carve into the mind from the first listen, but this time increases the dose of introspection, an element that makes "Skeletons" an extremely intriguing work, though not suited for everyone’s tastes: the Marilyn Manson-like vocalizations (the artist who fooled us all), in fact, remain and may lead astray those encountering Wednesday 13 for the first time.

❝ Attention!
The album in question is a BOMB!

❝ D E A D L Y !!!

❝ Fear is the mind-killer.

❝ “"Jane Doe" is universally (and rightfully) considered the masterpiece of the Boston band; the compositional skills of Bannon-Ballou & Co. unarguably reach their peak here.”

❝ “Because I've always considered Converge a band of madmen, lunatics, mentally ill...”

❝ “Here’s the thing I love about Converge: they don't have a low-gear speed.”

❝ A knowing glance between Li and Totman and thus Dragonforce is born, aka ludicrous speed in metal.

❝ speed, speed, and more speed!!!

❝ predictable yet furious and extremely fast power metal: drums and guitar at a minimum of 200 bpm and incredible fun;

❝ They return. The nightmares always return.

❝ "Irreligious" is the album that definitively delivers Moonspell to the empire of Gothic Metal.

❝ "Wolfheart" by Moonspell is indeed one of the top 4-5 albums that this genre has ever produced.

❝ Oh you reader, if you already know what Nu Metal and Industrial are and you know you hate them, then I advise you to immediately close this window...

❝ Start A War is damn fun, honest as it reveals its nature right away (with the usual futurist sheen that is extremely pleasant with Static-X), sincere even in its naivety.

❝ When trying to define "the collapse", I always think of this album.

❝ That the human soul is a Janus where one face laughs at the other's crying is said by works like "Book Of Shadows";

❝ Book of Shadows II is the "sequel" to the guitarist/biker's first solo album and turns out to be an incredibly intimate album, which just like its predecessor, reveals the melancholic side of the American guitarist, showing the world once again that his love for Southern Rock is much more than a mere infatuation.

❝ O God of Progressive Metal, give me the strength to properly celebrate this immortal, powerful, heartbreaking, rocky, emotional, deeply suffered MASTERPIECE.

❝ Dream Theater is either loved or hated, there are no middle grounds, almost like Juventus.

❝ The void. The nothingness.

❝ This is the sound of Crowbar, compact, oppressive, sludge metal with strong doom tendencies and southern and stoner influences.

❝ The songs are all to be savored to embark on a rough, funereal, angry, and damn rational journey.

❝ The sound of "Crowbar" is damn slow, exasperating, disarming, and pissed off.

❝ “Belus” is simply Burzum, and this statement should suffice to silence all the black champions of the extremes of the noughties.

❝ "Filosofem" by Burzum is a beautiful album.

❝ But, in the end, what truly matters is that the music of Burzum, whether it be beautiful or ugly, precious or negligible as it may appear, can answer to one single, indisputable word: Freedom.

❝ in two words, "The Powerless Rise" is a purely and proudly Thrash Metal album, nothing more, nothing less.

❝ with this fourth album As I Lay Dying finally reach their artistic maturity, delivering an album that will delight all metalcore and N.W.O.A.H.M. enthusiasts.

❝ "Confined" and "The Darkest Nights" stand out, two little masterpieces, that for as much as they are the two most conventional and "melodic" tracks, they penetrate inside and never leave, positioning themselves among the most beautiful songs that this genre has ever produced and that my ears have ever heard.

❝ Swedish Death Metal. Period.

❝ The "Master Of Puppets" of death metal, that's how I would define "Slaughter Of The Soul" by At The Gates.

❝ A must listen

❝ The sound of the album ended up being raw and entirely uncompromising. Even ahead of its time, for its primordial aggression.

❝ In short, Eyehategod does it better than anyone, the sludge, in the small company of New Orleans, where people collaborate who are more or less connected with the sludge-sound (from Jimmy Bower with Eyehategod indeed, to Pepper Keenan, passing through Phil Anselmo).

❝ The singing is something absolutely degrading; the voice, shouted but far from being a screaming or growling (in full Hardcore Punk tradition, in other words), is coarse, dirty, rabidly resigned to a condition from which it cannot escape.
