While our webzine is mostly about Metal and Rock, every now and then we enjoy a trip into different sounds searching for something new. Sometimes we found ourselves in complex genres like Noise, Free Jazz and Dark Ambient, sometimes we get lost in the many facets of Electronic music or in the different forms of Folk, and sometimes we even give in to Pop’s temptations. Our target is to conquer the entire music world, but don’t tell anyone.
