 The shadow of the great ceremonial masters Electric Wizard looms over the entire album, although Belzebong lacks the charisma and imagination of the British.

 Recommended, although not necessary, the consumption of good quality marijuana during listening.

Belzebong's debut album blends heavy stoner riffs with doom metal's weight, creating a trippy instrumental journey. While influenced by Electric Wizard, it lacks some originality and charisma. Recommended mainly for genre fans and those open to an extra-sensory experience, ideally with marijuana. A solid but not groundbreaking release in the stoner-doom realm. Dive into Belzebong’s heavy, psychedelic soundscapes and experience their trippy stoner-doom journey today!

 I demand originality and the starting point, and I also hold that the case of Bruno Lauzi is no less when it comes to the sad law of oblivion and the unfair relegation to low-grade supermarket stuff.

 Like a master, he weaves a plot not excessively engaged but certainly more courageous, proactive, and colorful compared to the (still excellent) works published earlier.

It highlights the album's unique split between intimate live performances and richly produced studio tracks featuring collaborations with notable artists.

 Lisa’s voice is still stunning, perfect.

 The latest album 'Anastasis' is truly unnecessary, dull, and compared to the 1984 one, it has old, monotonous, banal sounds.

The reviewer expressed cautious curiosity before attending Dead Can Dance's 2012 Milano concert. While praising Lisa Gerrard's enduring vocal prowess and Brendan Perry's mature voice, the setlist felt overly focused on the newer, less inspiring 'Anastasis' album. Classic hits were few but deeply appreciated. The use of synthetic instrumentation and some arrangements were criticized, suggesting missed opportunities for richer live music. Overall, the concert was decent but failed to fully capitalize on the duo's celebrated past. Discover the nuances of Dead Can Dance's 2012 Milano show—read the full review and listen to their timeless classics!

 Despite the venerable age of recently turned seventy-eight, Cohen kneels and literally drags himself across the stage asking for love, forgiveness, or death.
