Top 10: U2

Here we are today to talk about U2 and the songs I prefer from the catalogue of the huge Irish Rock band. As always, I try and pick up songs from as many albums as possible, to give you some variety. Saying that, sorry in advance if your favourite song is not in this, the discography of the band is huge and it's almost impossible to pick up only 10 songs! One last thing: when there is no video under the song, click on the link to make it appear (on another page). Ok, I think we are ready to start now! 10) Where the streets have no name (from The Joshua Tree) My favourite song from one of the most successful albums of the band. Below is the beautiful video with Bono & C playing on the roof just like The Beatles, many years before. This song represents perfectly The edge guitar style. In fact, here he is in the video preview. 9) Mysterious ways (from Achtung baby) Another song taken from another very popular album of the band, Achtung baby, released in 1991. This was the se

Review: Lacuna Coil - Live From The Apocalypse (2021)

Live From The Apocalypse by Lacuna coil is a very strange live album. First reason is that it was recorded at the Alcatraz , sort of second home in Milan for the Italian band but without the heart and the energy of the always warm Italian audience (we all know the reason, right?). Second reason is the song list, which is basically the latest album Black Anima played in its entirety (bonus tracks included) but in a different order. Lately it's a sort of trend playing albums in their entirety but usually maintaining the original order of the plot (apart from Metallica who performed the Black album from the end to the beginning). So, nothing much to add about the setlist: if you liked the album Black anima, you will like this album, otherwise you know already the answer. Sound-wise Live From The Apocalypse sounds powerful with the voices of Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro always in the spotlight. In Swords of Anger , the real first song of this live ( Anima nera is a sort of

Ibridoma - December (2016) Review

Here we are today talking about Ibridoma , an Italian Heavy Metal band on the scene for 20 years now. Definitely a very respectable curriculum for a band that released an important album back in 2016. Ibridoma never missed the chance of having special guests on their records. If in the past, in fact, guest stars as Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of Fire, Angra) and Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) contributed with their class, in this album, called December , Ibridoma gains the honour of the presence of two singers from Iron Maiden: Paul Di'Anno and Blaze Bayley. But let's talk about the music of this album, December : a pure Heavy Metal record with heavy riffs and exactly all what we expect from a release like this with a robust and effective sound. The opener Sniper reminds me of Judas priest, with a killer riff and a good, and very memorable, chorus. Definitely one of my favourite tracks of the album. Covered by the blood is another good powerful track while the title track and Chemt

Avoria

Avoria is a musical project born in Southern Italy (Basilicata region) back in March 2020. The band composes songs which have their roots in a international electro-rock music from the '80s merged with the twentieth century melodic tradition of modern Italian songs. Avoria has released 9 tracks so far, including the brand new cover of the Joy Division song New Dawn Fades included in Unknown Pleasure, an album released in 1979. The cover is very interesting because it is in Italian and the title changed in Una nuova aurora svanisce . Give it a go on the player below. The other material of the band includes the latest original single, released on February, called 40° with a creepy video preview somehow representing the song, with some Nine inch nails vibes but with some Italian vibes too and, of course, lyrics. Very interesting is the combination of the instruments you can hear during the song and the singing, maybe not very graceful, but effective and that perfectly fits t

Classical Music and Heavy Metal

By Enrico Spinelli How could Black Metal sound in the 1800s? Of course, we are perhaps taking things to extreme levels here, but are we really that convinced that certain dark and evil atmospheres evoked by classical compositions are not nearly as disturbing as listening to " De Mysteriis Dom Satanas " on a winter night?! In my opinion, this is one of those passages that penetrate you deeply and that is capable of recalling the most macabre rituals. So let's talk about it. THE WORK The symphonic work in question was born in the second half of the 19th century, inspired by the story " The evening of St. John's Eve " by Gogol and some legends of Ukrainian folklore, with the intention of representing the ritual of a Sabbath in music. There are two hypothesis on the correct location of the mountain, the real protagonist of the work: there are those who argue that it is the Ukrainian Lysa Hora and those who instead lean towards Montecalvo Irpino, in the Benevent
