DATAKILL „Fino All'Ultimo Respiro ”

Music: Hardcore/Metal
Website: http:// www.datakill.it
Country: Italy

The band’s career officially began in 1996 as one of the most popular Italian underground metal/hardcore group. But this paradise did not last forever, and after some changes in line up and a 3 years break, they came back in 2000 to kick everyone’s butt. Their music is a kind of manifesto, they express their frustration and rage, provoked by the bad conditions of kids, living in their metropolis. Of course, they do it in Italian language, which is an interesting fact, because only a few bands decide to use their mother tongue, in order to reach the broader public.

And I barely fell asleep while listening to this album. And this does not mean that it is silent, calm or boring. The main purpose of that is the copying of others, I have heard it all before, but not in Italian language, that is a fact. I felt pretty odd when I could not understand the content of the lyrics and make some sound-idea connections. But thanks to the great invention called the Internet, I managed to help myself. The problem with this music is its lack in some variety and freshness. Such band should provide a lot of those. The album lasts for 38 minutes, but there is that awful feeling, that it is lasting longer, and longer… and longer. It is so tiring, that one could easily turn it off and go to sleep. And this will be the best thing to do.

Final word: unless you are an extreme fan of Italian album (or a kid living in ‘that’ metropolis), do not even look in this direction. Otherwise remember to use headphones while listening, not to disturb and annoy others around you.
