This was a great surprise for me. The reviews of BrufordFreak and Rivertree made me curious enough so I gave this
album a listen. The overall sound was very mysterious, with dramatic turns, unexpected transitions, intertwined
themes, great playing, emotional vocal delivery (lyrics in Italian and English at one point) and voice clips from the
film 'Apocalipse Now' (which I haven't watched!). Also I do not understand Italian, although I suspect it only adds to
the experience. After the first listen I felt that I didn't fully get it, so I gave this record 2 more listens and then it
finally clicked with me... Wow, this album is impressive!What I did not expect at the very least from this record is to contain my favourite song(s) of 2022: Cuore di Tenebra Pt. II (10/10), Un Nuovo Dio (9,5/10) and The Horror (favourite epic of 2022). The rest of the compositions are not far from the previously mentioned ones in terms of performances and provoked emotions, which creates a good cohesion and a basis for smooth transitions and the storytelling factor. This is my favourite album of 2022 (at least for now). Highly recommended! Thank you, Massimo Pomo, Riccardo Romano, Maurizio Meo and Daniele Pomo for this truly amazing record.
