Antonello Giliberto is a new & young Italian guitarist from Siracusa. After years of studying & seminars with some great guitarists of our time he ended up with the style that’s fitting him best. Having some major influences by the neo-classical “maestro” Yngwie Malmsteen as well as Ritchie Blackmore, Vinnie Moore, Tony MacAlpine, Joe Stump & Jason Becker among others, he completed his first solo attempt.
This Italian band strikes back with its third full-length work after 5 years. The band’s melodic death metal with thrash & atmospheric elements has become a tad more advanced and technical. They have not gone off their previous music line but it is evident now that all those years that they keep on going have worked for the band’s own shake. They are still brutal, melodic, aggressive and sharp when need be.
Going on their way without any boundaries, Vindictiv is like a “new” band. 4 whole years after their second release they are back with two important additions to their line-up and a more straightforward heavy approach. Marco Sandron (Pathosray, Fairyland, ex-Eden’s Curse, ex-Jackhammer, ex-Burnin’ Dolls, ex-Broken Arrow) is the band’s new vocalist and in all honesty he did manage to fill Goran Edman’s shoes intensely. The other new member is the drummer Henrik Hedman (Celestial Decay, ex-Last Kingdom).
PTSD is an alternative metal band from Grottammare, Italy. Influenced by bands like 30 Seconds To Mars and Breaking Benjamin, PTSD were formed in 2005 and in 2008 they released their first album entitled “Burepolom”. Now that it’s 2013, it was time for them to release their second one called “A Sense of Decay”. Personally, I would have been fine if they hadn’t.
You want a one-way ticket straight to the 70’s hard rock sound? Then “Wander Thirst” is the album for you. Influenced by artists like Deep Purple, Bad Company, Thin Lizzy, Boston, Foghat and Ted Nugent, Double Treat offers 11 pure hard and blues rock songs with a touch of Black Sabbath mentality.
Let’s not have the same debate again. Whether or not Alice in Chains are in fact Alice in Chains without Layne Staley. The way I look at it is this: Alice in Chains entered a new chapter of their history with the release of their 2009 comeback album “Black Gives Way to Blue”. Now it was time for that band to release a brand new album entitled “The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here”.
