Wow, this one struck me like a hammer. I did not reckon with a current prog metal CD that would set my soul ablaze with melodies that go deeper and further down my spirit as so many bands ever managed to do. I would place this act in the early 90s scene, before the days of utterly boring DREAM THEATER clonedom. You can find elements of 80s neoprog, very creative and inspired progressive metal of the ancient days, melodic, catchy hardrock, even symphonic prog and hardrock with a clear late 70s direction. And then you find singer / songwriter inspired gentle songs on a level of pure godliness. I would not really call them ballads, though, they are more bright and joyful pieces of music. And this is a band coming from the island of Sardinia? Yes, indeed. The mediterranian island spawned quite a few great acts lately, epic metal heads ICY STEEL, old school powerspeedmetal act MEGAHERA, now here we got the proggy side of metal and hardrock. I could not call this a pure metal or a pure rock band, the truth lies in between, somewhere hidden within the enchanting melody patterns. This record, each of these mindblowing songs, belongs to the top of the charts. Okay, I know that this is like wishing upon a star, utopical. Well, you never know. If you could imagine a cross between MARILLION, PALLAS, early days DREAM THEATER, THRESHOLD and even ELOY being your pleasure to listen to, don`t waste any time and buy a copy of this magickal album.
