REVIEW Promotional Cd Area Sismica volume 4

I received a rock and metal compilation called Area Sismica volume 4 in CD format from Italy and promoted by Mirko DeFox, producer and promoter with his various activities.. I am a big fan of such initiatives, compilations in general. Although they seem to be a medium of the past and are losing their relevance. Due to lack of time I do not like to surf the vast, endless expanse of the world wide web.

Now, about the musical content. How can I handle it? Mentioning some biographical notes on each of these thirteen bands would make this review a horrible reading material. Especially since they all lie within the boundaries (or lack thereof) of rock and metal. Each of these acts has a certain something to distinguish themselves from the others. Some of them strive to reach traditional hard rock, some even dive into the extremes of heavy metal, while a number of acts here simply follow the examples set long ago by the legends of the genre. There are also a couple of truly original attempts at creation such as Exnovo and FHG (Father Hollow Graham). Quite interesting, you must admit.

By the way, as I said above, most of these acts are rather unknown. At least for me. I only found four names here that I had heard of before and those are Kryuhm, Feline Melinda, Keens and Axe Hero. Maybe the more involved fans will recognize others. However, if the focus is mainly on Italian artists, one can't complain about the lack of geographical diversity here.

The only thing I can actually find a small flaw in this album is the lack of more alternative rock bands. There is an abundance of metal present. There must be at least a couple of worthy alternative representatives that could have made it on this compilation. But, as I said, that's just a small flaw. Or maybe an incentive to choose "volume 5". Trust me, I'm not necessarily a fan of those genres, but I too would love to have a fifth edition. That's how good it is.

Blacklist Union - Back To Momo - (Street Rock)

Blacklist Union 'Back To Momo' (Street Rock) Blacklist Union released their 4th CD titled "Back to Momo" in 2015 and are currently working on new material for an upcoming release called "Letters from the Psych Ward," scheduled for a summer 2022 release. You are guaranteed inspiration from this brand of street rock with songs like "Alive N Well Smack in the Middle of Hell," "Super jaded," and "Evil Eye." Gifted singer/songwriter Tony West spins a musical web, tackling subjects not often mentioned with heart wrenching honesty, and sometimes humor. Addiction, sex, friendship, child abuse, death, and living on the edge of destruction are just a fraction of what the band touches. With a lineup of stellar musicians, Blacklist Union is a true rock n' roll band that continuously pushes themselves to the limit. Blacklist Union has toured nationally and has a growing domestic/international fan base. Hailed worldwide as the next ...

Russian Scarecrow prog metal

Scarecrow came from the land where the endless night reigns - the distant industrial city of Perm, lost among the icy swamps and impenetrable forests at the foot of the most ancient Ural Mountains on the planet. The eerie ancient legends of these lands create a very special atmosphere in an already depressing place: the sounds of mysterious bloody rituals and voices of ghosts mix with the blows of factory hammers, the poisonous black smoke of factory chimneys and the howls of a blizzard.

As capable as this man is of salvaging humanity’s dying society on Earth, he finds more solace in the greed and power he has inherited. Victim of his lifelong internal battle with mental instability, he leaves humanity to extinction on Earth. Struggling with this outcome, he send...
