This is the second album from this Brazilian band who are obviously influenced by country mates Angra, as well as Helloween, Iced Earth and Iron Maiden. As with may press releases, the one that came with this album is at pains to point out bands that they are similar to in an attempt to help the reviewer to push the reader down the right track. But nowhere does it mention Disturbed and I defy anyone to play “Night and Day” without thinking of them. Let’s hope these guys are more interesting in concert as I walked out of a Disturbed gig as I was so bored (mind you, the support was the mighty Trivium so the headliners were always onto a loser from my perspective). Based around singer Mario Pastore what we have here is a traditional metal/power metal act of some note.

Mario is a great singer who reminds me quite a lot of Bruce Dickenson in that he uses a range of vocals, not just going for the high notes all the time even though he can reach them easily enough. The band are extremely tight, and the best way to really enjoy this is by turning up just that little bit louder as it is only fair to share it with the neighbours (or in my case, with the sheep).

Released worldwide by Inner Wound Recordings in October 2012, this album is definitely worthy of further investigation by anyone who enjoys good old fashioned Dio/Maiden style metal.
