TEMPLE OF SHADOWS

Huge progressive symphonic metal and probably the first LP of the band deserving 5 stars since..." Holy Land". The balance between energetic power metal anthem ( "Spread your Fire", "Temple of Hate" ), power ballads ( "Sprouts of Time", "Wishing Well" ) and progressive tracks ( enormous "Shadow Hunter" with its flamenco theme and its evolutive structure ) is truly enjoyable. So, musical variety + great instrumentation and melodic lines + anthems + no filler tracks = 5 stars. This Lp confirms Angra as one of the bigger band of the progressive metal world and Edu Falaschi as a talented substitute for Andre Matos.
