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 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
The Aura by Beyond Creation is basically a Technical/Progressive Death Metal for BASS PLAYERS. You have a fretless bass played by a god-level musician and LOUD in the mix, so enjoy! The atmospheres are really "alien" and sci-fi themed. Best tracks: Coexistence, Omnipresent Perception, The Aura, The Deported. Lemme know! » Continue Reading
This record is AWESOME, check It! It's a Technical/Progressive Thrash Metal album with Black Metal influences and It sounds FAST, violent and spacey. Vektor are one of the best band in the genre and they reach incredible speed and sound tight and precise. They tune their instrument half step UP, so F. WHOLE RECORD IS A BANGER. But best songs: Black » Continue Reading
From Beyond by Massacre is a great slab of Old School Death Metal, like it should be played: fast, violent and crushing. This record is really a sort of cult classic and it's a great way to explore the genre after the "big names". Best songs: Cryptic Realms, Biohazard, From Beyond and Inhuman Condition. The whole album is great, lemme know what you think! » Continue Reading
First "non Metal" recommendation, even if this record is a lot haunting and chaotic. In Italy we have tons of obscure but good music, expecially from the '70s. Il Balletto di Bronzo are one of the lesser known bands, but also one of the best, due to their blend of Hard Progressive and Psych Rock. This is a concept album about the last men on earth, who is about » Continue Reading
The Gathering are one of the most important Goth/Death Doom Metal bands from the 90s, thanks to their use of keyboards and weird melodic approach. However, this is the only purely Death Doom Metal record, their later record will focus more on the Gothic Metal » Continue Reading
