Remove all gods from my way, and thoughts, and sorrows...And let me trespass the barriers of fear...

About Me



RockLine -- An italian webzine about every kind of Rock.

My Last.fm user page -- My Audioscrobbler, look what I'm listening.

My Interests

Music: to play it, listen it, review it, and also everything is connected to the world of music. I like a big amount of genres. So much people ask me how I can listen bands so different from each other. So, music is music, and there's a specific kind of music for every moment, for every sensation. I also love concerts and musical events.
Cinema: every sort of insane movies. Every scene has a meaning, if you think about, hidden or not.
Bass: play four strings to make noise. Absolutely stupid.
Reading: in every moment.
Winter: and all the manifestations of Nature. Night and the Moon.
Protest.

I'd like to meet:


Mikael Ã…kerfeldt (Opeth):

And him:

Anathema - Are You There?

Music:

Mostly extreme music such as Death Metal and Black Metal. I also appreciate two so different realities as Progressive Metal and Grind.

My second musical passion is Rock, obviously. Precisely, I prefer Post-Rock, Post-Metal, Alternative and Progressive/Psychedelic music in general. All types of experimental and avant-garde music.

Music with strange, chaotic, nonconformist, extreme and intense attitude or feeling, music able to engage some kind of interest. People who go behind the distinctions between sounds and noises. Notes that make me meditate or sounds that make me not think at all.

Movies:

Definitely too many. Some examples: all Stanley Kubrick's movies (especially A Clockwork Orange, Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey), Pulp Fiction, Taxi Driver, Eraserhead, Into The Wild, American History X, Psycho, Sleepy Hollow, Memento, Trainspotting, Reservoir Dogs, Sin City, Saw, The Lord Of The Rings, The Sixth Sense, Mulholland Dr., The Others, Apocalypse Now, The Ninth Gate, The Godfather, The Silence Of The Lambs, From Hell, Fight Club, Braveheart, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Crow, The Day After Tomorrow, Ocean's Eleven and so on...

Television:

I hate television. But I can tolerate some programs, as Simpsons. Some interesting documentaries about History (XVIII - XX Centuries period, Middle Ages), current affairs, politic. Something that talks about religion, occultism, ancient myths and so on. I dislike TGs or similar.

Fuck the mainstream news broadcast.

Books:

My favourite writers (and poets, obviously) are Nietzsche, Kundera, Milton, Baudelaire, Dostoevskij, Schopenhauer, Kant, Tolkien, Palahniuk, Goethe, Kafka, Lovecraft, King, Voltaire, Kierkegaard, Hesse, Kerouac, ecc...

I'm also interested in every kind of historical books. Especially I love the Medieval times and the Russian Revolution. I like some thriller books too, and as a general rule, whatever can win my attention.

Heroes:

No heroes. But there are many people that I regard very highly. They're people who live, fight and die for their ideals. But perhaps deep down I have a hero: his name is Enrico De Giorgi.
