Italiano term

foga da orca

Da Italiano a Inglese Arte/Letteratura Musica
"Death March discende invece dal death metal piu` tetro, e la carica spaventosa di Realization, uno dei riff piu` potenti della loro carriera, trascende il genere per affondare gli artigli nel fuoco dell'inferno. Quella **foga da orca** non si placa piu`, lambendo livelli di pura follia tragica in Ripped Off e di pura nevrosi psicotica in Dot Matrix."

Um, not sure what the author is trying to get at ---

feral/animalistic frenzy

Dispite the fact that "Killer whale frenzy" is used to describe a hunting spree of these animals, I'd go for something a little less literal, unless the killer whale is some kind of symbol, quote or reference to one of the songs of the band. HTH

alligator's death roll

Trying to maintain the aquatic theme - and which seems to match the music reviewed.

"Alligators consume food that could not be eaten in one bite by allowing it to rot or by biting and then spinning or convulsing wildly until bite-size chunks are torn off. This is referred to as a "death roll." A hard-wired response developed over millions of years of evolution, even juvenile alligators execute death rolls when presented with chunks of meat. Critical to the alligator's ability to initiate a death roll, the tail must flex to a significant angle relative to its body. An alligator with an immobilized tail cannot do a death roll."

If you watch the video for Realization and find a video of an alligator's death roll - you might feel the similarities.
