Metal music might sound really harsh and hard to listen for non-metalheads, so... i decided to share with y'all my personal selection of 10 records to get in this genre... some are a little bit heavier than others, but all are a good starting point. I put a few more "underground" picks aswell so people can also start diving into the "unknown". But let's not waste more time, here the list: #1 MEGAD... » Continue Reading
Today i decided to talk about a really good Stoner/Death Doom Metal band: Druid Lord! Their music is gloomy, filthy, crushing and dark, with riffs as heavy as monoliths. This, in my opinion, is their best. "Grotesque Offerings" is the perfect balance between all their elements, and if you're into this kind of extreme music, you'll be surprised. Best tracks: "House of Dripping Gor » Continue Reading
Alright, i might be less active lately, but i still love sharing music! Today i decided to talk about "Parallel Minds" by the swedish Progressive Metal band "Conception", it was released in 1993. It's not full of long suites or difficult song, this lean more towards the "accesible" side of Progressive while also maintaining all the elements that you might expect fro » Continue Reading
We all know that Japan has some of the best Metal bands out there, Intestine Baalism are an awesome Death Metal band kinda similar to some Swedish Death but with a personal touch which really stand out. As usual, it's extreme music, not meant for everyone, but please, give it a try, as this stuff is really awesome. Best tracks: Cannibal Sodom, Blasphemy Resurrected, Anatomy of th » Continue Reading
So, today i suggest a sort of "overlooked" record by a pretty known band (in the Stoner Metal scene), the mighty Electric Wizard. This is maybe their most experimental and complex record, with many guitar layer and a sort of "Acid/Psych" approach to their already pretty Acid and Psych music. However, do not expect a chill or safe record at al » Continue Reading
This album is a great Progressive Rock journey, crafted by the German band Eloy. Expect a spiritual journey through existentialism and spirituality. GREAT use of Synths and melodic guitar solos, sometim » Continue Reading
Today i'll suggest a GREAT band from my country, Italy. Doomraiser are one of the most important italian DOOM METAL bands, their sound it's filled with great riffs and atmosphere, with a little Stoner edge to both the song structure and riffing. As you can probably guess, this record has a sort of lovecraftian vibe and theme. Best tracks: Mountains of Ma » Continue Reading
One of the best Black/Thrash Metal record ever made. It's so violent, destroying, crushing and dark that it sounds like it comes from the very dephts of hell! Great riffing, great vocals and a lot of interesting stuff aswell, i also love the rhythm section, which just blasts everything in your face. To me is a true masterpiece o » Continue Reading
Today i'll share a DEATH METAL record, a really obscure and heavy one. Obliteration are a really grim band, their albums have this sort of "demonic" feel, like the world has been invaded by hordes of imps and devils. As usual, there's a lot of Lovecraft aswell. The track are long (from Death Metal standards) and filled with crushing riffs. Best tracks: Tumulus of Ancient Bones, El » Continue Reading
This album, Inferno by Metamorfosi, is one of the darkest and weirdest Progressive Rock records ever made. A LOT of atmosphere, great lyrics and an outer wordly dimension. I just love every single second of this one, i'm proud to share It with y'all! Best tracks: Caronte, Spacciatore di Droga, Violenti, Malebolge. BUT WHOLE RECORD SLAPS, 10/10, IT'S ALSO » Continue Reading
This is one of the best album from 2024 and a true masterpiece of Death Doom Metal. It's simply perfect: atmospheric, heavy, filled with riffs but also sorrowful melodies, it makes you cry and feel "understood". Great musicianship but nothing is "out of place" or unnecessary, everything is where It should be. Best tracks: Grave Mi » Continue Reading
666 by Katharsis is one of the most extreme Black Metal records you can find. Is basically pure nihilism, hatred and violence, there's no "light" in their music. It's RAW, obscure and definitely not for everyone, but the riffs are killer. So, today i'm suggesting something that's hard to listen to and MIGHT hurt your guts, if you're not interested in such music » Continue Reading
