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
This record, Punishment For Decadence by Coroner, is simply an incredible example of how Metal can be both heavy and violent but also technical and refined, without loosing anything. Coroner are one of the most important bands in the whole genre, pioneers of Technical/Progressive Thrash Metal (along with Watchtower, Mekong Delta, Deathrow, Target, Voivod, blind Illusion » Continue Reading
I'll share one of the best DOOM METAL records ever made, II: Crush the Insects by Reverend Bizarre. For those who don't know, Reverend Bizarre are a really important band of the Doom scene, they basically reinvented the genre back in 2002 with their amazing debut "In the Rectory Of" and perfectionated » Continue Reading
This one is actually a compilation of two different releases: the first album "1" and the EP "Dog Days", but nowadays you always find these two fused in a single record, so i'll suggest the "reissue" with both instead of splitting them. Goatsnake are one of the most recognizable Stoner/Doom Metal bands, due to their "monolithic" and really heavy sound, blended with a 70s revival riffing and dusty ... » Continue Reading
Today i'm again in mood for some extreme stuff so i'll recommend the album "False" by Gorefest, an awesome, heavy and filthy Death Metal band. I love the blend of absolutely crushing riffs, mid tempo sections and tons of doomy and atmospheric melodic choices, w » Continue Reading
I've been kinda sick these days, didn't felt good physically and had some bad thoughts aswell. Today i'm better and ya know, there's nothing like MUSIC to properly recover. So, i'll share with y'all a slab of PURE Death Metal, the riffing is ugly and crushing, the atmosphere is abysmal, everything is just dipped in frenzy. If you're in a bad mood, put this kind of music and you'll feel » Continue Reading
One of the best Traditional Doom Metal albums. This record means a lot to me, hope you can enjoy It. For fans of BLACK SABBATH. Best songs: "Broken Vows", "Wartime", "Evil Seed". But the whole thing is incredible, i recommend a full listen of the album. » Continue Reading
It's really heartbreaking but... Fredrik Lindgren passed away at the age of 53. He played in Unleashed's best record, including their debut "Where No Life Dwells". Unleashed helped shaping the whole swedish Death Metal scene thanks to their powerful and Heavy sound which brings some uncommon elements in the mix by adding more textures and "proggy" sections in their » Continue Reading
