Marco Manzella e Antonella Scalia (2013)
9.5
/Post-rock, Symphonic rock, Experimental rock, Ambient rock, Instrumental, Classical/
Comment: this batch of 7 compositions is a mindblowing one composed of the elements of orchestrated classical terrains, post-rock-esque carcasses, and ambient (rock) jitters. Inspite of heady structures the release is counterbalanced with a torrent of senses and enough mood turns pouring out of any slots (sometimes reminding even of Penguin Cafe Orchestra in its uncompromising pursuit for beauty). Behind this combo are Marco Manzella (electric guitar), and Antonella Scalia (classical violin) who started off their collaboration and thereby the combo in 2012. However, they are assisted by Simone Alvich (pianoforte), and Emanuela Sala (voice in Oltre) at times. Very special post-rock collective.
Interlard - Meanwhile (2012)
9.3
/Noise rock, Black metal, Trance rock, Chamber rock, Industrial rock, Avant-metal, Crust punk, No Wave, Anti-rock, Experimental metal, Hardcore, Avant-rock/
Comment: Interlard is a project from Birmingham, UK taking into its fusion heavy, extreme and nihilistic elements of rock, metal, punk and industrial/electronic undercurrents. I can remember the first time for the collective at the end of 00s. This handful of tracks are spreaded out over 36 minutes filled with dirty, resonating bass lines, loose drum blows, some hysterical "singing", howling effects, however, resulting in highly demented, punchy rabidity of the repetition-heavy structures. Emotionally it is ecstatic and hypnotic. On the other side, this music can be interpreted as a sophisticated, intellectual version of grindcore or avant black (metal). However, you should be warned not to be played it for your dear children. In a nutshell, fascinating outsiders by any means.
