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'll share an album that truly matters, to me. This is a really unique record, a blend between Folk, Heavy Metal and a little bit of Prog Rock, imagine Iron Maiden fused with Jethro Tull and Wishbone Ash. The result is an incredibly emotional experience, between strong riffing, great melodic solos, twin guitar harmonies and delicate acoustic section, with a magical and heartfelt feelin » Continue Reading
Today i'll share a Progressive Death Metal record. Mourning Sign are a sort of blend between early Opeth/Edge of Sanity and Atheist, with a little early Meshuggah touch here and there. Their music might sound messy at times, song structures are weird and honestly the album does have some fillers here and there, but it's really unique and when it works, it works REAL » Continue Reading
Today i'll share some Black Metal! This album is 33:18 minutes long, as each track lenght is exactly 11:06. Weird, i know, but it works! It's short but sweet, the songs are all atmospheric and tense, with a sense of grim and darkness. Best track: II But really, only 3 songs so... listen this album from start to finish! Lemme know in the comments, if you want. » Continue Reading
Today i'd like to share a Progressive/Technical Thrash Metal album which truly deserves more recognition. Hexenhaus are a swedish band which truly showcased what Thrash Metal "can be", their tracks are contorted, almost "spiraling" through fast riffs and complex rhythms. B » Continue Reading
Today i'll share a non-Metal album, Walking Circles by Midnight Sun is, in fact, a Jazz Rock/Prog Rock album with a little bit of Psych. I really love the emotional weight of this record, expecially in the wonderful title track. Great vintage sounds, awesome musicianship and musical-storytelling, we're talking about a hidden gems from the '70s, after all. Best track » Continue Reading
Today i'll share a Black Metal record, inspired by Tolkien. Cirith Gorgor are a really unique Black Metal band, they play a sort of "Epic Black Metal", something between Manilla Road and early Summoning, or something like that. They feature fast blast beats and guitar parts, but also harmonies and melodies in the vein of 80s Epic Heavy Metal (Manilla Road, Omen, Cirith Ungol, ecc...), becaus » Continue Reading
Today i'd like to talk about a really "weird" record, a Technical/Progressive Thrash album from 1988, which features intricate riffing with uncommon structures, many changes, and an overall "frenzy" atmosphere. It's a forgotten masterpiece, the vocals aren't your tipical "yelled" vocals but more "Heavy Metal" oriented, in the vein of bands like Powermad, Watchtower, Mekong Delta, Psychotic Waltz, » Continue Reading
Today i'd like to talk about a BLACK METAL record, a really unusual one tho. Negative Plane aren't your tipical BM band, as their sound is layered and complex, with vorticous riffs interwined in a perfect flow of guitar mastery and abstract structures. They're by no means an easy-to-listen band, they can result unfathomable and "too much", but for those who seek an atmospheric journey throug » Continue Reading
This is an EP, a wonderful and DOOMY one. Mirror of Deception are a German DOOM METAL band, and they truly crafted something special here, a short but highly emotional and ethereal journ » Continue Reading
Today i'd like to talk about a really special album, for me, a Progressive Death Metal record with a lot of Fusion elements, which is really heartfelt. The emotional melodies and solos blend perfectly with a tight riffing and great growled vocals, also this band is "famous" for the great basslines that they deliver, truly a unique blend. In this record there's a mor » 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
