Review by Einar Erlendsson

Lo Nero Metallo Nostro: A Wild Ride Through Janus’ Rock Odyssey Alright, so I’ve been spinning Lo Nero Metallo Nostro by Janus lately, and lemme tell ya—it’s not your run-of-the-mill rock album. Released back in 2017 under Rupe Tarpea Produzioni Numenoriana (try saying THAT five times fast), this Italian gem is a heady mix of Prog Rock and Hard Rock vibes. It feels like the band took all their weirdest ideas, threw ‘em into a blender, and hit puree. The result? Something kinda brilliant. Now, let’s talk tracks because there are two that stuck to my brain like gum on a hot sidewalk—“Canzone Per Un Prigioniero Politico” and “Viva L’Europa Delle Aquile.” These songs aren’t just catchy; they feel like mini-stories with guitars for punctuation marks. First up, “Canzone Per Un Prigioniero Politico.” Man, this one hits hard. The title translates to “Song for a Political Prisoner,” which already sets the tone—dark, brooding, but also kinda hopeful? Musically, it kicks off with these moody riffs that feel like walking through fog at dawn. You know those moments when you’re driving late at night, lost in thought, and suddenly something grabs your attention? That’s what this track does. The vocals have this raw edge, almost like the singer’s spilling his guts right there in the recording booth. And don’t even get me started on the solos—they’re wild enough to make your cat freak out if it hears them. Then there’s “Viva L’Europa Delle Aquile,” or “Long Live Europe of the Eagles” if we’re keeping things simple. This tune is straight-up anthemic. Imagine standing on a hilltop, wind whipping around you, while some epic battle unfolds below. Yeah, it’s dramatic as hell. What makes it unforgettable is how it builds—slowly at first, almost teasing you, then BOOM, it explodes into this thunderous chorus that demands you pump your fist in the air. There’s a swagger to it, like Janus knows exactly how badass they sound and they’re owning every second of it. Between these two tracks alone, Janus proves they’re not messing around. They’re here to craft music that’s heavy yet intricate, loud yet thoughtful. It’s proggy without being pretentious, hard-hitting without losing its soul. Plus, coming from Italy—a place most folks associate more with pizza and pasta than metal-infused prog rock—it’s refreshing to hear such boldness. So yeah, listening to Lo Nero Metallo Nostro feels like stepping into another world. One where rock still has teeth, where passion trumps polish, and where lyrics carry weight beyond surface-level nonsense. Honestly, after hearing this album, I half expect Janus to show up at my door riding motorcycles made of guitar strings and leather jackets. Wouldn’t put it past ‘em. Final thought? If you dig music that challenges you while simultaneously rocking your socks off, give this album a spin. Just maybe warn your neighbors first—you’ll understand why once the opening chords kick in.
