Back in business

Some time has passed since the last post. And some vicissitudes, too.
Old Port facility crashed and had to be changed. Setting up procedures took a bit longer than expected. Previous localization currently remains, but is unstable. GEt in at your risk. I'm still testing it. If it doesn't survive, I have already set up a newer one within my new NORAD center.


A few Italian godies, to celebrate the reopening... [opensesami: portroyal]

TARCHON FIST-Tarchon Fist (2008) [Heavy M. / Italy]



Here you have a freaky solid piece of steel to bang your head on: pure Italian heavy metal, with singing, riffing, hammering and production to very high level. Yes, ok... also a few fall from grace... but give a spin to the opener, 'Metal Detector', and then we'll talk. The 2009 album - with live material - is even betetr.

SOUND STORM-Twilight Opera (2009) [Symphonic/Epic M. / Italy]



This is a very mature work, despite the totally unappealing title - that actually recalls too much Symphony X in my opinion. Don't expect boring viking/epic instrumental inserts or Rhapsody like vain classic exploits. Just imagine bit more complex Thy Majestie of the earlier works (not the last twist, that I don't like much). Up & downs, of course, but a quite speed metal work.
