10/10

Excellent Album, excellent band from Italy, progressive metal with fusion touches, Simone is a drum master, incredible technique and swiftness, he uses all the percussions and accessories in his drums, one of the bests drummers in the world, the sound of the album is clear and captivating, eight songs of the best progressive metal, awesome the way they incorporated Latin rhythms in their music, the changes in the rhythm are constant and fast, great vocals, magnificent lyrics, the feeling is perceptible in all the album, the keys are so fast, great orchestration, the guitar is powerful, I’ll expect to be able to see this guys playing live.

Song by song

In the hands of a siren, the quality of the musicians is notorious, starts with the guitar followed by the drums, the rhythm is amazing, next, the keys and the vocals, pure feeling, Raffaele doing his job very well, the lyrics are really good, the part when Matteo sings “more than gold your beauty is flashing my eyes” is pretty amazing, I like so much the fact that they including a woman sing, some bands has do that before and they sounds amazing (Queensryche, Mayadome, Ivanhoe, Shadow Gallery, Soul Cages), that’s music! I don’t understand how the people don’t like this music; do they have a brain damage?

Between two parallels, incredible song! One of the best ever, Simone is so good that it seems he’s mistaken when he plays, he took his time, no hurries, the changes are perfect, nothing less, nothing more, the keyboards with a piano sound follow the drums, excellent job, spectacular coordination, then appears an almost imperceptible vocals, at the half of the song they play a musical part, the rhythm of the guitar is hypnotic, original, the sounds effects are good, they go in agreement with the music, the keyboards pretty amazing, then appears the guitar solo, next, another perfect musical part leaded by the drums, the voice under the chorus is an excellent job, their creativity and innovation put they between the bests bands.

Remembrances, one of my favourites, great distortion by Marco, followed by the drums and keys, the bass accompanied, the feeling is everywhere, I like so much this lyrics, tragically, dramatic, the way that Matteo sings is perfect, the drums feels like heartbeats, what Raffaele do in this song is fantastic, they play with the heart, who’s has not been rejected?, who’s has not feeling like this before?, pure pain and sorrow, excellent name of the song, make us remember how many times we felt in that way , for a moment they forgot the song’s theme and make something special, something unimaginable, they add some different rhythm, fastness, they show versatility, the way of ending the vocals get you enchanted, fascinated, I hope all the bands admire this job and try to doing something like that, this is better than hear long and fast scales in guitar, keys and bass, no sense vocals and repetitive drums, we heard this for more of 20 years, is time to change.

Density, Instrumental, an intro, excellent music, the way that Giovanni plays is wonderful, shows his talent, the capacity of doing something different with great rhythm, very creative.

Going to nowhere, great start, awesome keys with a fantastic rhythm on the drums, great distortion by Marco, intense vocals, like in the entire album, wonderful guitar solo, spectacular the last part, it seems like they compete who’s the fastest.
One thousand nothing, Latinrhythms incorporated in this song, makes something never made, precision and synchronicity in all the instruments, the voice is charming and full of feeling, the drums are very impressive, the changes so fast, the sound and the feeling in the guitar are really good, the piano is angelic, extraordinary keyboards, excellent technique and ability, the bass very perceptible.

Connecting, Pure feeling! This is one of the attributes of the band, in this song they shape, a prelude for the big show.
The big show, starts with great keys orchestration and piano, followed by changing rhythm in drums, cymbals and percussions, then, the powerful guitar and the loud bass, next, strong and emotive voice by Matteo, I don’t understand how people who makes the reviews in prog sites said that this is prog rock, can’t you hear the heaviness of the band? Inconceivable feeling in the last part, starts with the guitar solo accompanied by incredible drums and deep bass, next the harmonious of the guitar, extremely well, followed by the keys orchestration; by finalize the chorus of connecting. The song ends as if the drummer got mad each time, great song and the perfect way to finalizing the album.
