The Rite
After more than a year spent without writing anything, I thought it was the right time to post something new on this website. And here’s an interview with the black metal force The Rite. This band was born in 2017 as a collaboration between Ustumallagam (well knows as singer of the danish horror maniacs Denial ...
Possessed
This year many of the most loyal death metal fans went crazy for the new Possessed album. After 12 years since their reunion in 2007 they finally unleashed a new album, Revelations of Oblivion, who immediately gained many very good feedbacks among the heavy metal maniacs. Three weeks ago they came here in Rome to ...
Evoken
The last months of 2018 have seen the comeback of one of the greatest and most influential funeral doom bands. Hailing from New Jersey, they’re preaching the word of slowness and melancholy since 1994. Even if you think this kind of music is not for you, they have demonstrated it’s not only about 40bpm tempo ...
Demonomancy
Six months ago I wrote an article about five really good death metal albums of the last year. I first decided to interview Burial Invocation, one of the bands I mentioned in the article. Then I realized there’s another one that need more space on this website. Among the good extreme metal releases of 2018, ...

Abysmal Grief
For what concerns music, dark sound it’s one of the best things Italy could offers. Even if most of the people in this country ignores it, many italian bands are very much appreciated in the doom metal world, like Death SS, Paul Chain (Violet Theatre and his solo works), The Black, Run After To and ...
Grave Miasma
During the last 5-10 years, many new extreme bands showed a deep interest in occultism. While most of them use occult symbols and Thelema-related elements on their artworks, just a few of them have a deep knowledge about this subject. Grave Miasma is not just one of the best death metal bands around (musically speaking), ...

Attila Csihar (Mayhem, Tormentor, Sunn O))), Void ov Voices)
One year ago I had the great pleasure to interview the mighty Attila Csihar for La Repubblica XL. Mayhem was on tour for the 25th anniversary of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and they were about to play in Rome. I called him two weeks before the show and I had a nice chat with him, ...
Night Viper (Tom Sutton)
In these last years many new heavy metal bands have tried to bring back the sound of the classic records of the eighties. Most of them are just boring clones of Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, but fortunately others have something more to say. Night Viper demonstrated that is possible to play that same kind ...
