Ask Italy
ENGLISH:
Hi, welcome to !askitaly! Before you post here, you might want to read the rules. Generally, there are the instance rules:
- No NSFW/NSFL
- No illegal content
- No racial or gender discrimination
- No **spam
We understand that for some questions it may be unavoidable to touch on the topic of illegality, discrimination, or something else. For this reason, if your question is in good faith or if it is a particular political question, your thread will not be removed regardless but will be reviewed by a mod. The instance admins can always decide to delete your threads, regardless of the community mods.
(NOTE: this does not mean that you can post whatever you want or that threads will never be removed. A question like "I did this, is this illegal?" will not be removed, but ""How can I do this without being fined/arrested?" will be blocked. That was an extreme example, but hopefully you got it).
Last but not least, titles must be explanatory, "I have a question" is not ok.
Folkstone and Furor Gallico for folk metal, Novembre for prog/death metal, Temperance and Ancient Bards for power/symphonic metal
I admit that their music’s a tad nerdy, but I like Master Boot Record, and just recently found out they’re Italian!
Wind Rose!
Destrage
Halflives
Lacuna Coil
Måneskin
Melody Fall
Slander
Vanilla Sky
Classic Metal/Rock is quite dead in Italy.
The only metal band (doom/gothic in this case) that stands the test of time in my opinion is Novembre. Materia in particular is a masterpiece.
If you're into black metal it's different. There is a lot going on underground and each year we get something special. Just to name one: Solitvdo Hegemonikon.
Rhapsody [of Fire] is great if you're down for cheesy power metal!
Edit: or Fleshgod Apocalypse if you're looking for something heavier & darker.
