2 stars This work has little to share with the symphonic music that was played by some legendary bands from Italy.

The intriguing opening track is quite abstruse: it is very difficult to enter into and sounds more as an experimental piece of music.

This album sounds very much as a heavy prog one, with Italian lyrics. La Creazione fully falls under this category; but the same type of sound is repeated during most of the songs from this debut album.

There are also some psychedelic influences which lead to a satisfying album. No giant numbers are featured and the wild rocking Sodoma E Gomorra is very much in the style of Ten Years After. Demoniac guitar work, heavy and sustained bass, rolling drumming are the combination of sounds that you will discover while you would listen to this instrumental track.

We are far from the melodic Italian genre to be honest; but if you accept this album for what it is AND if you are somewhat heavy-rock oriented, this album should be OK. But production is not the strongest point.

The longest song available Il Giudizio is just a hard/heavy jam: structure less and noisy at times. These ten minutes are quite difficult to digest and it is not the short Il Diluvio that is going to raise the quality level here.

Two stars for this heavy, heavy work.
