What can you expect from a band that dubs their music as "Brutal Crossover Thrash"? Exactly what they promise: an hyper-fast and intense crossover thrash metal with some demented blast-beats here and there. But these 4 Polish angry thrashers have also a good imagination, so there is no always a blind massacre throughout the 14 tracks composing their new album "Straight Outta Smogtwon" (Selfmadegod Records), that Mythrone Promotion sent me in physical format some time ago.

INTERVIEW TO FOSCH (WITH PAGA')

Hey black metal bangers,

our beloved Francesco Bazzurri reviewed two months ago the brilliant third album by Fosch, an Italian black metal quintet singing in the dialect of their homeland, that is Bergamo, in the region of Lombardy. So, fascinated by this thing and also by the themes faced by the band that are rooted in the Bergamo folklore, Francesco thought well to interview them.

In brief, this is the interview to Fosch. One of their two guitarists, Pagà, answered to the questions.

Timpani allo Spiedo: a simple break?

It’s official now: Timpani allo Spiedo has stopped a bit its activities in these months, so I apologize to its followers and everyone sent me/us ultimately some stuff to review.

Personally, I have no will anymore, for example, to listen to an album and then to write a new review. But I think this isn’t a bad thing. Sincerely, I’m fine with that.

The fact is that the commitments, the needs, the projects change… the life itself changes. So I don’t see anymore Timpani allo Spiedo like one of the essential things for my life. Also because, after many years, finally I am discovering the pleasure, the beauty to listen to an album without writing something about it.

Ergo, I don’t know if this is a simple break for the ‘zine or stuff but this is the plan: my friend Francesco (that I thank infinitely, also for the Timpani’s new logo!) and me will talk about the last releases that we received ultimately, especially about the ones in physical format, then we’ll see.

In every case, it has been really a beautiful adventure, that was started in the now very far 2008. Wow, how much time has passed!
