STATEMENTS by Daniele Badursi:

“The digital book with cassettes tells us an important historical record: the collection of audio cassettes slows down in the late 90s and stops in the following years due to the initial spread of the cd recorder, to continue in technological evolution with the final step To digital media and liquid music between cd, mp3, streaming, download, YouTube, Bandcamp, and more.

In addition to being a gift for fans, this update is certainly a fair tribute also dedicated to all the bands that have contributed to the existence of the Italian and foreign underground music scene in the second half of the 1990s.”

Raw Art Fanzine:
The idea is very much like and is having success in Italy and abroad. I’m referring to the digital restoration of Raw Art, a fanzine born to friends 20 years ago and later became one of the landmarks of underground music and culture in Italy (and overseas among the workmen).
20 years ago, it was no surprise to be able to realize such a project in the deep south of Italy. The computer found it almost exclusively to NASA.
Yet, here we are, to restore a bit of history that was touched by hand … then the smell of paper, glue, and old printers. Finally, many historical memories are brought to light before being absorbed by technology, smartphone, internet, Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram.”

(record review)DOYLE-“DOYLE 2 AS WE DIE”(Monsterman Records/EMP)

Everyone knows that Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein played the guitar with horrorpunk legends and godfathers The Misfits. Following the departure from The Misfits, he formed Gorgeous Frankenstein, band that mixed horrorpunk with metal and out of the ashes of that band came Doyle, new band and this is their second album. Almost all of the 13 songs on this record are four years old and the material on this album was created at almost same time as the first album. I didnt like the first album much, it had some good songs but this one is a killer! Featuring excellent musicianship by Doyle, Alex Wolfman Story(Cancerslug) on vocals, Brandon Strate(They Live) and Brandon Pertzborn(Black Flag, Revolution Mother), this record is one metal horror bomb which you are compelled to listen again and again! From the melodic opener “Kiss Me As We Die” featuring guest vocals by Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy to the more Cancerslug-like “Witchcraft” over thrash metal attack “King Of The Undead” and punkish “Run For Your Life”, this album has no fillers and it is one of the better albums that I have listened this year in this horrorpunk/metal genre! Check it out!

(record review)SIX FEET UNDER:”Torment”(Metal Blade)

Who would have thought that this is already twelfth studio album for these Floridian deathsters. Formed as a side project for then Cannibal Corpse singer Chris Barnes, they evolved in one of the top death metal acts in the world. They had some lineup changes but the only constant in the band vocalist Chris Barnes kept them together through the years. There are 12 new songs on this record done in a new lineup with the new drummer. The lyrical themes are gore and horror stuff as always but in my opinion, the music is the problem. The music is typical death metal, a bit fast blastbeats and then a bit slow and midtempo. I loved and still love the first two records, “Haunted” and “Warpath” because they were not your typical death metal. Nowadays, this band is only one of the many death metal bands that sound the same and they kinda drowned in mediocrity or maybe lost ideas how to make great stuff like they did in the past. Not a bad record, but only average.
