TIMELESS REALM

Very fine prog metal band from Brazil, founded by the virtuoso guitar player Marcos De Ros (who has some instrumental solo albums released under his own name). The main reference is Symphony X, specially for the vocals who bears a curious similairity to Russel Allen´s . But don´t worry, they have their very own sound. Fortunatly De Ros is NOT one of those musicians who wants to steel the show all the time. This is really a team efford and Í was glad to find that all the band members are equally skillful and able to give everyone room to shine. But really the star of the show is De ros, with his tasteful, creative guitar breaks and solos. He never overplays, which is a rare quality in a man with so much technique.

I was quite surprised at the time by the production, which is very good even for today´s standards. The tracklist is smooth, the music powerful and the songs have some intesresting variations. If you´re into this style of music give it a try. You won´t be disappointed.

These Brazilians really kicked my a..!Just imagine the lyricism and melody of DREAM THEATER with the ''angry'' vocals and the musical power of SYMPHONY X and you have exactly what ''Timeless Realm'' is all about.Nice passages,catchy songs and really technical acrobatics complete the whole story of the debut of AKASHIC.Great!Worth its money...

Prog metal, with influences from Dream Theater, Symphony X and maybe Savatage last albums and Circle II Circle. Most lyrics are about religion, more specifically about God and h ... (read more)

These album is simply wonderfull. The first think that comes in mind is the voice of the singer. Something between Tom Englund from Evergrey (for ex: for freedom) and Russell Allen From Symphony X (for ex: Dove). A mature voice with emotional vibes. Their first album but already a big first step ... (read more)
