 "Berlusconi's charismatic leadership is something deeply modern, detaching itself from any historical precedent, projecting into a 'future' that, in some ways, is already 'now.'"

 Michael Caine is Alfie. A man who never has to ask. A charming driver in 1960s London, a London that still smells of dreams and romance.

 Having everything but actually possessing nothing, abandoning oneself to wild pleasures only to find oneself alone, renouncing morality for pleasure, are themes often addressed. But never treated as in this film.

 Tranquility. This is the key word that came to my mind after listening to the second work by Balmorhea.

 "Baleen Morning" is an astonishing gem of modern neoclassical combined with post-rock of sublime refinement, simple and never overstated.

Balmorhea's Rivers Arms album offers a tranquil and intimate listening experience with dreamy neoclassical melodies and post-rock influences.

Nevertheless, it remains a pleasant and soothing album recommended for those seeking a peaceful musical escape. Listen to Balmorhea's Rivers Arms and immerse yourself in an hour of tranquil neoclassical beauty.

 The group has its own originality, which is perceived throughout the duration of the mini-album.

 The first of them is, in the opinion of the writer, the strong point of the demo, a track over 8 minutes long but never tiresome.

Destrudo's 2010 demo 'Falx Cerebri' presents a masterful blend of technical and progressive death metal infused with jazzy and electronic experimentation. Featuring four tracks, it showcases originality and excellent musicianship influenced by but not copying Cynic. The well-produced demo stands out strongly despite its brevity, promising exciting future developments. Listen to Destrudo's Falx Cerebri to experience a fresh take on progressive and technical death metal.

 Nightstick was a fantastic band, absolutely unique; devastated by drugs, alcohol, intoxicated by the carbon monoxide of tunnels, radioactive waste, alienated by kilometers of asphalt and cement.

 The three Nightstick turn that obese teenager into a terrifying monstrous alienated sociopath, filtering it through the carburetors of the cars clogging Boston's traffic.

Nightstick's Blotter offers a unique fusion of slow hardcore, wild psychedelia, and noise rock. Drawing inspiration from Jesus Lizard and Electric Wizard, the album crafts a dense, monolithic sound. The review uses vivid metaphors to capture the album's drug-fueled, disillusioned atmosphere. This is a compelling listen for fans of heavy, experimental underground music. Explore Nightstick's Blotter and experience a crushing, psychedelic hardcore journey like no other.

 Finally, someone who doesn’t skin your balls with formidable high notes and stuff like that, but brings passion and is remembered for a different voice.

 Astral Doors focused on simplicity, stripping down the concept of heavy metal: aggressive riffs, well-placed solos executed with diligence, then the singer takes care of the rest.

The band embraces NWOBHM influences, especially early Iron Maiden, delivering a solid and memorable metal experience.
