Review: There are 3 years since this band was formed by Irene, Marco and Davide and this here is their debut album although they already have a MCD out released in Fall 2004. The first thing that strikes your ears are the incredible skills of its musicians and especially of the bass player, Davide. He's must be a bass guru if you ask me, with 100% certain professional background or musical school. He seems like taken out of a jazzy progressive band. Irene (oh, what beautiful blue eyes...) has a good, strong and honest voice, a voice that fits quite well this kind of music. And what's about their music? This is crossover metal, a generic label as it contains fragments or influences from many rock and metal genres resulting an emotional, forceful metal. Marco Garro does a good job with his keys and effects, but in my oppinion this band will have a greater success if his presence will be more dominant and curageous. They are 80% from a highly great band with worldwide success, I'm sure, so I can't wait for the new opus. In the meantime I'm still astonished by Davide's work on bass. Certainly an album that if you'll buy you'll not blame me for recommending it. It's a good, professional and hard-worked one. At the end of this CD there's an acoustic version (with violins as guest instruments) of "Noiselessness" (my fave track too, hehe), a track that simply takes you in a fantasy world, a dreamy dimension. If these guys are not out of the underground in short time we should throw them out! They deserve a lot more!
