\"POSSESSION\"<\/p>\n

“Possession”\u00a0<\/strong> comincia\u00a0\u00a0 subito\u00a0\u00a0 poderoso\u00a0 e\u00a0 non\u00a0 tradisce\u00a0 le\u00a0\u00a0 aspettative,\u00a0 si\u00a0 apre con\u00a0 “Loa’s Kingdom”\u00a0<\/strong> il\u00a0 Funk\u00a0 e\u00a0 il\u00a0 Rock\u00a0 pi\u00f9\u00a0 pesante\u00a0 si\u00a0 fondono\u00a0\u00a0 in\u00a0 riff\u00a0 giganti e drumming\u00a0 potenti e oppressivi,\u00a0 che richiamano\u00a0 alcuni\u00a0 episodi\u00a0\u00a0 degli\u00a0 Ugly Kid Joe<\/strong> meno\u00a0 sobri, il\u00a0 finale\u00a0 \u00e8\u00a0 articolato\u00a0 in\u00a0 crescere\u00a0 tra cori e assoli di chitarra. Arriva poi la\u00a0 volta\u00a0 di\u00a0 “Bondeye”\u00a0<\/strong> altro\u00a0 ibrido\u00a0 possente, l’intro\u00a0 \u00e8\u00a0 percussivo alla maniera dei Puya<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 ma\u00a0\u00a0 ben\u00a0 presto\u00a0 la\u00a0\u00a0 rabbia\u00a0 ci\u00a0 esplode\u00a0 addosso\u00a0 in\u00a0 una\u00a0 frenetica\u00a0 corsa\u00a0 Trash Metal,\u00a0 “Bloodstones”<\/strong>\u00a0 aggiunge\u00a0 poi\u00a0 altri\u00a0\u00a0 colori\u00a0 alla\u00a0 tavolozza\u00a0 sonora\u00a0 dei\u00a0 ragazzi di\u00a0\u00a0 Londra<\/strong>,\u00a0 ecco\u00a0\u00a0 infatti\u00a0\u00a0 una\u00a0 Ballad\u00a0 “mid-time”\u00a0 dai\u00a0 toni\u00a0 vagamente\u00a0 Grunge\u00a0 alla Staind<\/strong> , il\u00a0 pezzo\u00a0 inizia\u00a0 soffuso\u00a0 per\u00a0 poi\u00a0 crescere\u00a0 in una struttura tipicamente Rock, fino\u00a0\u00a0 a\u00a0\u00a0 un’\u00a0 ecatombe\u00a0 fatta\u00a0\u00a0 di\u00a0\u00a0 chitarre\u00a0\u00a0 elettriche\u00a0 e\u00a0 urla\u00a0 da\u00a0 amazzone,\u00a0 per\u00a0 poi rispegnersi\u00a0 dolcemente\u00a0 e\u00a0 scomparire, uno\u00a0 dei\u00a0 brani\u00a0 pi\u00f9\u00a0 a\u00a0 fuoco.\u00a0 E’ il turno della cavalcata\u00a0 Heavy\u00a0 “Oya”\u00a0<\/strong> chitarre\u00a0 acide\u00a0 e\u00a0 basso\u00a0 groovy\u00a0 implodono\u00a0 in un\u00a0 finale\u00a0 di stampo\u00a0 californiano\u00a0 fatto\u00a0 da\u00a0 “stop and go”\u00a0 continui, “Loko”<\/strong> fa da electro-preludio a\u00a0 “Legba’s Feast”\u00a0<\/strong> un\u00a0 altro\u00a0 dei\u00a0 momenti\u00a0 che\u00a0 ho\u00a0\u00a0 preferito,\u00a0 ballata\u00a0 desertica\u00a0 che comincia\u00a0 come\u00a0 un\u00a0 risveglio, le\u00a0 chitarre\u00a0 dal\u00a0 sapore indianeggiante si intrecciano in un\u00a0 mantra,\u00a0 le\u00a0\u00a0 percussioni\u00a0\u00a0 ipnotiche\u00a0 e\u00a0 convulse\u00a0 galleggiano\u00a0 riportandoci\u00a0 visioni elettriche\u00a0\u00a0 (pi\u00f9\u00a0 o\u00a0 meno\u00a0 alterate)\u00a0\u00a0 di\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Zeppeliana”\u00a0\u00a0

Trash\u00a0 nei\u00a0 sentieri\u00a0 dell’ Heavy, scavati\u00a0 nella\u00a0 roccia\u00a0 da\u00a0 gente come\u00a0 Metallica,\u00a0 Slayer<\/strong>\u00a0 e Pantera<\/strong>,\u00a0 per\u00a0 poi\u00a0 cambiare\u00a0 faccia\u00a0 e trasformarsi in una prepotente apertura\u00a0 orchestrale, un\u00a0 impetuoso crescendo\u00a0 tra\u00a0 cori\u00a0 epici\u00a0 e tappeti di\u00a0\u00a0 archi\u00a0\u00a0 e\u00a0\u00a0 chitarre\u00a0\u00a0 misticheggianti,\u00a0 come\u00a0\u00a0 dei\u00a0\u00a0 System of a Down<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 in\u00a0 versione operistica. “Mawu”\u00a0<\/strong>

Soundgarden<\/strong>\u00a0 pi\u00f9 arroventati e polverosi specialmente nella\u00a0\u00a0 sferzata\u00a0\u00a0 progressiva\u00a0 del\u00a0 finale,\u00a0 ci\u00a0\u00a0 avviamo\u00a0 verso\u00a0 la chiusura\u00a0 con\u00a0 “Minos Army”\u00a0<\/strong> molto\u00a0 curati gli intrecci vocali, le strutture urticanti\u00a0 figlie\u00a0 dei Faith No More<\/strong> a\u00a0 chiudere\u00a0 poi, un\u00a0\u00a0 sample\u00a0 vocale\u00a0\u00a0 a\u00a0 tema\u00a0\u00a0 razzismo,\u00a0 in\u00a0 “Divinity”\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> troviamo poi un\u00a0 po’ \u00a0 tutti\u00a0\u00a0 gli\u00a0\u00a0
