With conflicting information as to who exactly is playing on this album and a lack of any detailed information in the press release I am just going to assume that the given band members (as listed above) were also on the album.
I say that because from the brief press release it implies a different set of musicians.
Formed as a solo project for song writer, drummer and singer Titta at the beginning of the year in Italy.
He wanted to create his personal project as a way of bringing you in a journey into his deep thoughts.
Titta decide to invite guitarist Emiliano Tessitore to lay down “stunning solos and amazing rhythms”.
Acoustic guitar was provided by Alex "Lex" Tricarico.
Bass was recorded by Alberto Rigoni and drums recorded by Denis "Denzi" Novello.
Oliver Hartmann of ‘Avantasia’ joined Titta on the song ‘A Man Behind The Mask’.
Now the only reason I accepted this promo from their record company was because the words Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin were very much at the top of the information, at least they got that bit right, though they could have mentioned that Titta also played in ‘Daemonia’.
Anyway enough of my grumbling about poor press releases and let me hit the play button.
Quiet a mix of styles, the opening track is fairly standard ‘Power Metal’ plenty of technical stuff going on and harmonic vocals.
Track number two ‘Night After Night’ is altogether a much darker affair, near industrial/gothic metal in fact, growling vocals and heavy drums really drive this one.
After this we seem to return to this melodic power/progressive metal meets bon jovi sound, plenty of quality playing and very rich in production, but honestly not my kinda music.
I am disappointed I was hoping for something a bit darker, an albums worth of ‘Night After Night’, would have been just perfect.
Rating 5/10
For Fans Of: Avantasia, Ashent, Kamelot, Mob Rules, Symphony X
