This album is most ambitious, grandiose and high-flying opus of Roz Vitalis at the present moment. It consists of 14 tracks and lasts 63 
minutes. Various keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, flute and trumpet are 
supplemented by exotic kinds of percussion, mandolin, bass clarinet and 
even string quartet! It is that this album extremely emphasizes strange 
combination of memorable/hooking melodies and sophisticated 
compositional structures with complex system of leitmotivs. Such 
combination of “familiarity and weirdness” is one of the trademarks of Roz Vitalis.

Conceptually the album is about spiritual/creative 
constituent of a person in strange dynamics. Such constituent can be 
called “The Hidden Man of The Heart”. Often this dynamics can be tragic 
and dramatic when a person is faced with various temptations destroying 
his or her spiritual/creative constituent. A person can be Trampled and 
Wounded by such temptations which can be represented in the terms of The
 Lion and Adder, Jungle, or just Evildoers. Sometimes such person 
becomes Refugee in the Blurred and Passed Over. And then all that is 
left to do is to sing, to cry and to scream – in desperation – Psalm 6!

The style of "The Hidden Man of the Heart" – like
 any other Roz Vitalis stuff – can be described as the "Unclassifiable 
Branch of Prog Rock". However, such tags as "Melodic Avant Rock", 
“Canterbury Gothic Prog” or "Between Sympho Prog and Avant Prog", are, 
perhaps, also partly relevant.
Music of ROZ VITALIS is about The 
Ineffable and The Unfathomable. In particular, it is about human 
aspiration for The Unapproachable Light 
The band will be glad to receive reviews of this album!
