5-song 'Ep by Karma To Burn. The group continues the stubborn path of instrumental heavy/rock, with an exception this time. 'Uccidendo Un Sogno' is a cover of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 'Running Down a Dream' performed totally in Italian by guest vocalist Stefanie Savy. This is also the debut album for the new bassist Eric Von Clutter. The guitars are crispy and the drumming melodic.

5-song 'Ep by Rabid Dogs. It is dedicated to an Italian tv serial 'La Fiovra/The Octopus', and all the samples are taken from it. They’re mixing things up, spicing up the style of grindcore with many elements and they keep it interesting without being repetitive. This 'Ep in no way resembles straightforward grind. Grind meets rock ‘n roll meets stoner/doom rock elements.

3rd album by Leftöver Crack, 11 years after their last full length 'Fuck World Trade'. It proves to be well worth the wait. A great variety of genres from thrash metal to punk/rock to ska with guest contributions from Jesse Michaels (Operation Ivy),  Penny Rimbaud (Crass), Jack Talcum (the Dead Milkmen) and many more.

5-song 'Ep by Jotenheim. This is the first and only release by these Italians, who deliver high quality of epic heavy metal. Nice catchy riffing, lyrics about swords, knights and battles, amazing solos, raw production and a great vocal delivery. Too bad they split-up, having offered us only this gem.
