Just discovered this band. Apparently they have about 6 albums out. They play a highly melodic progressive power metal with clear neo-classical overtones. Yeah, you say, I've heard this before. Maybe, but not this good! Forget writing off every Italian band as copycats, because these guys just might have it in them.
I know it's a bit redundant to compare these guys to, what, Dream Theater?, but hey, it's good that someone's trying.
Hmh, are you referring to their early albums or the newer era with the new singer? They are totally different! Their first album was "almost good", too uncoherent, but their second album is a MASTERPIECE of metal, one of the best ever created! It's a fraking shame they lost their singer
The 2 albums I've heard after that have been nowhere near the power metalness and catchiness of Wings Of Time, they are much much more generic. Had I heard them from album no. 3 or 4 I might have never even picked them up!
And I don't think they've changed for better since that... I'd wish I was wrong
(I have short (old) reviews for their 3 first albums on my site! Though I just notice that I might have been a bit too generous with the ratings on their 1st and 3rd... I'll add DGM on my (long) do list, so I'll do the rest albums and better!)
