Gangar – Kinomaja, Tallinn, Estonia, 26.04.2024 by Ivor | 06.05 It was by sheer accident that I stumbled on Gangar's gig on the ticket marketplace searching for something else entirely. What caught my eye initially was the advertised mix of folk, jazz, metal, and prog. What sealed the deal, however, was the description, which quoted, of all things, Metal Storm's Non-Metals review of the band's début EP Tre Danser and reminded me that I probably had a still-open Bandcamp tab somewhere as a reminder from way back when. |

Ponte Del Diavolo - Fire Blades From The Tomb
It’s a known tradition to have Italian bands play out-of-the-box doom metal. The latest very noteworthy export from the boot-shaped country comes in the form of Ponte Del Diavolo and their debut album, Fire Blades From The Tomb. This is a blackened doom revelation, full of occult rock, post-punk, and darkwave sensitivities. Atmospheric nightly soundscapes, fierce aggressive leanings, medieval mysteries, and ritualistic invocations of evil find their place in this engrossing manifestation of menacing doom, while the haunting melodies, the dual bass attack, the evocative clarinet, and the Siouxsie Sioux-esque vocals make for a bold sound that is both familiar and uncommon in its nature.
