BEYOND THE NIGHTFALL

Italian band METAPHYSICS was formed in the fall of 2005, its members deciding from day one that their aim was to create and perform their own material. A demo was made and released at the start of 2007, which brought positive attention to the band. 2011 saw them hit the studio to record their debut album, and in the summer of 2012 the end result was released as "Beyond the Nightfall" on the Italian label SG Records.

How much or not you'll enjoy Metaphysics' debut album "Beyond the Nightfall" depends very much on how deeply you have explored bands that take on the sound of Dream Theater in my opinion, and how much you generally enjoy music of that specific nature. If you have a deep love and affection for early 1990's Dream Theater and songs that blend calmer, ballad-oriented themes with majestic sequences and the occasional harder edged, aggressive insert, then this is a disc I suspect you'll enjoy quite a lot. Others may want to approach this one with a slight bit of caution.
