Merendine Atomiche - Raw
...funny story about this one (it's a groove/thrash band from Italy): I interviewed one of the band members via e-mail when this album came out in 2006. I sent him a bunch of questions and he sent it back with his answers. Seemed like a nice guy, but his English was SO bad that I could not make heads or tails out of any of his responses, so the resulting article was pretty much total gibberish, in spite of my efforts to edit it into something resembling sense. So after finding this CD today and chuckling at the memory, I couldn't leave it there!
