Fantasmagoriᴧ

I had never paid attention for the previous Samuel Arkan projects, but this one, at the first listening I really love it. He managed to gather many great names of prog power metal scene: Tom Englund (Evergrey), Mike Lepond (Symphony X). Leo Margarit (Pain of Salvation), Simone Mularoni (DGM), Ida Haukland (Triosphere), Mathi Marinelli, Tezzi Persson, and They created an epic album, fucking great!

Samuel Arkan statement

The quite unusual thing is that all these guests came to the Noise Factory studio (Belgium) to track down their parts. Nobody recorded his/her parts at home, like with some many other projects.
“I wanted the whole thing to get a real “band” feeling”, Arkan says. “Therefore having all vocalists and musicians here was very important to me. We got to know each other better and better while spending time together. The new material sounds very fresh, dark, heavy, modern and "true" with "straight in the face" guitar riffs, intense voices and melodies, massive work on progressive atmospheres and orchestral parts. All the artists who participated in this album gave their soul to it, gave their best, they travelled deeper into sensitivity and sincerity. That's probably the best words which define this next album... sincerity & spontaneity! This album comes from the heart of each musician and vocalist who worked on it, and you can feel it when you listen to this new EPYSODE album.”

Best of 2013

Here I stand at the end of the year again...


Behold the best of the year in the view of this impermanent being...


Dream Theater -  Dream Theater: I think I don't need to state too much about DT, mainly because the new album speaks for itself. They are back! although for many they had never been absent..

 




TesseracT - Altered State: here is an album that is clearly what music was supposed to be, with great Djent work, moving songs, vocals. It's not only about music but it's also to take u to another state of mind, to evolve as human being.
 





Mandroid Echostar - CITADELS: this band really surprise me this year, since of their EP to their Citadels, it's also the way that music should be made. Hell Yeah!






Subsignal - Paraíso: The new Subsignal album is really a great progressive work, with great lyrics, vibe, without songs that are too long, but it really works.






Masterplan: I think as the album title says, it's really a new beginning for these guys, probably the best prog power album of the year.






DGM: Their new album is really awesome and "Reason" influenced me a lot this year.






The Flower Kings -  Desolation Rose: One more year and.. They are really kicking asses again. The new album, in my opinion, is  really one of the best of their career. I think they are more inspired than ever.






Big Big Train - Suite, English Electric Part I, Part II, Make Some Noise: it's not at random They win Progressive Music Awards 2013, They are great!






Spock's Beard - Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep: and when everyone (me) thought it wouldn't work, They made it. I cannot say I don't miss Nick, but They are really sounding like SB. They really pulled an elephant out of the hat, great work guys!






I'd like to thank God for being the windmaker, also to thank my friends for all advices and support, everyone who stopped by, my subscribers, everyone who belongs to this circle of hope, boldness and progness, thanks! 
                                                          -HH-


 
Meaningful phrases of 2013:


When the ship starts to sink, don't pray. Jump!

Beware the 3 obstacles to jumping ship: 
* fear of regret ( that the loser will turn out to be a winner when you've bailed-out ) 
* Unwillingness to abandon part of an investment ( become willing to abandon ) 
* Difficulty of admitting you made a mistake.

"We are what we do, but we are mostly what we do to change what we are ..."

"The answers always clear
 the spaces in between
 we're choosing now to change
 we see the need to leave
 And we openly know where we belong
 Justice will prevail as the regimes fall " 



"Take this doubt and fear to your grave

   This life of stone
    The hand of god I'm too tempted to bribe
        I'm getting old and growing paralyzed
        We're all alone
   Until we let our minds take to the skies
 Our blood runs cold yet we remain alive "

Fantastic 4

I was shaking when I got this news, that's quite unbelievable, but that's truth, Transatlantic is Coming to South America!!! (Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Santiago) OMG.. thanks God! After so many successful tours around world some son of bitch have balls to bring them here. 






They just released the video "Shine" in support for their upcoming album "Kaleidoscope".




Tuesday you're okay
Can't you feel there's something there
waiting like silent prayer
cause this all fading away
and there's nothing we can do
little we can hold onto
but just let our lonely light come thru

and so we shine while this moment slips away from us
shine while skies are turning grey
and so we shine like there's nothing they can take from us
we want no one left behind when we shine shine shine

spotlights on you
can't you feel there's something more
breaking just beyond the door
if the light of the world lives in you
then no matter where you go
you can let the darkness know
there's a little light left in your soul

Self Portrait

I did know the work of these guys, but I was not into it very much, but after I heard Self Portrait of their new EP on Bandcamp , I really get psyched. It's an amazing work that mixes some atmospheric progressive tunes with some hammering heavy melodies, amazing work!


Aeon Zen - Sef Portrait

to wash all away

Who tried ?
All our lives

CITADELS

I have to say that my impressions when I heard the first single from the new Mandroid Echostar album were: Oh yes.. that's okay, it's good but not so impressive, but it's really as you start reading a book from the twenty-second page and You say...Oh yes, I did not understand anything, but When we start at (Page 1) A Death Marked Dream to (Page 7) Citadels, it's really impressive, fucking great album!!


Mandroid Echostar - CITADELS

No more hell to Pay

I think as their previous album, They are really sounding greater than before, heavier, and with great riffs, that's the powerful Stryper's combination. They leave no loose ends when the subject is being heavy, as I said before, for who likes an old school heavy metal, that's worth it!!

Desolation Rose

I didn't expect this album would be so great as it is. They really got every needed piece to make a remarkable album, it's like They are renewing themselves, becoming better, that's even better than Banks of Eden that I found it awesome, but in Desolation Rose you find a lot of moving songs, great lyrics, voices and the band seem to be more connected, a must buy for sure!


The Flower Kings -  Desolation Rose

in silent graveyards
they look for saviors

a land where all the suffering is gone

and no one will bring you down

while the road to desolation
lingers on...

Vengeance Falls

I started to like Trivium when They released Shattering the Skies Above, which came along with God of War 3 Special Edition, since that They are really growing softly on me, despite I'm new in Trivium World, I can't deny How great Vengeance Falls is. 
I think that in a few songs Matt could sound like David Dramian (Disturbed), but even so this album is really tight. They are really sounding more mature than their previous albums, catchy. I don't think VF is superior or inferior than their previous, but it's really another breakthrough in their career, fucking great album!


Trivium - Vengeance Falls



01. Brave This Storm 
02. Vengeance Falls 
03. Strife 
04. No Way To Heal 
05. To Believe 
06. At The End Of This War

it has to be noted that WMG, at last!, figure out that to put the entire album on YT is a good way to draw more fans. This is something that Sumerian Records have done since a long time ago.

Paraíso

After Sieges Even broke up, I found out these guys. Subsignal that have in their line up Arno Menses and Markus Steffen who were members of Sieges Even, and They are really keeping the flame burning. Paraíso is not different of their previous works, with some great vibe, and great soundscapes. I would say like father like son, great!

"I'm the world in which I walk
   I am the compass to my own Paraíso
    weight of mountains on my back
      but nothing stops me, an impulse to rely on

     the wind is old, so is my heart
    so young the dreams that stir my faint bravado
  somewhere, sometime, someplace else
a distant promise lights my lost Paraíso"

Minimizar [-]

Make some Noise

They just released their new EP and as in their previous releases, this one is not different. We can hear and see the synergy in their first single (Make Some Noise) which one is really a remarkable hit, this album includes four new songs and some great soundscapes of them, Great!


Big Big Train - Make Some Noise



01 Make Some Noise
02 Uncle Jack
03 Keeper of Abbeys
04 Leopards
05 Swan Hunter
06 Seen Better Days
07 Edgelands
08 The Lovers
09 Curator of Butterflies





I think everyone should follow their steps, mainly for They put their entire album, and whole booklet to be downloaded for a great price, it's really the way you have the album on your hand without buying the physical album.

Dream Theater Stream

I started to like DT because TOT, SFAM, SDOIT and regardless of what most of people say and most of time They say some bullshits just out of spite, but They can't really see the big picture. This new album is stronger than ADTOE, indeed it's really stronger, heavier, it's tight, there is no doubt this is a must buy for sure, but even so I don't think this album is better than those names that I quoted, and it's not being stuck with the past, but We only can move forward if we are capable to look back and recognizing where we come from...

The Enemy Inside

wow... it's been awhile since the last DT post, but We can't forget those who are important. Dream Theater is about to release their new album, their first self-titled, it's coming out on September 24. They just released their new single "The Enemy Inside" that's quite different if compared to a few songs from ADTOA, this new song is heavier, it got a great riff, besides James' voice is more agressive if also compared to ADTOA, I can say this one got all ingredients that I really love! Hell Yeah DT!


Dream Theater - The Enemy Inside

"I'm running from the enemy inside

Altered State

this album is something that goes deeper and further.. I think it's been awhile since the last time that some album leads me to a trip. This album is not only about how to play a musical instrument, but it's How music should be made, because most of time what we hear around us is Shit. I really love How They elevate the djent to another level... fucking great album!!

The Third Ending New Album

I'm looking forward for that... after so many years without any new release, They're about to release a fresh new album, but before They set up everything They were releasing a new song every month at least, and these songs are pretty tight, catchy, with some unforgettable progressive landscapes, and certainly that will be the best album of their career when it comes out!


The Third Ending

 

I really love these previews but Sunsets & Silhouettes is something magical.

T3E

The Third Ending is a very good band that is not so famous yet, but there is not something missing to them when compared to those who are at the progressive top, a band that I heard a lot in 2007 and when I was digging through my files I found this album which is essential for who likes progressive music, besides these guys rock live!

Another great release.. I'm really glad that I just know these guys.

The new Empyrios album is really something that I'm enjoying, not only because the great Simone Mularoni, but on this album They really added some brands that I love: Djent influences, some trash vocals and we must pay attention to Simone's guitar solos, because they are greater than TGS...

OMG, I cannot believe it!!! Mike Portnoy just announced He's coming back to Dream Theater!! Oh.. God.. thanks!! Mike Portnoy says They were in talks for a while but They hadn't made a decision yet, then for now Mike Mangini still continues in DT:
John Petrucci says We could never imagine that the biggest drummers of the world would be playing in DT and I couldn't imagine that I would play with Portnoy again like old times, Petrucci still says we'll keep Mangini for the newer songs and Mike for the older ones, the only Petrucci's retriction was Mike should leave his other bands, as far as I know Mike signed a contract with these terms.


Petrucci statement:  this tour will be greater, bigger than ever!  stay tuned!

Momentum

I follow the band since 2008, I've listened to all their albums, then I can not say that I am not a fan because I am, and over these years I must say I haven't heard a band that sounded like them, because They really have their own profile, it's hard we hear some guitar player with the same tune that Simone or a player like Emanuelle, Andrea, Fabio and What Could I say about Mark, that voice!
I think the band never created an album as great as this album is. They are really sounding more mature and even in their songwriting, They added some improvements in each song, and some great influences like we can hear in Remembrance that riff! I don't think there are any bad song in this new album, I really love Overload, Void, Reason, Universe (has really some Symphonic influences), Repay (I think this is one of the most beautiful ballads that I've ever heard), Chaos, the entire album is highly recomended for who likes great music, mainly Power Progressive Metal, fuckiiing awesome!!

Brief Nocturnes and DS

I can not say I was not sceptic about Ted, this change would be really hard, I started to like SB because Nick D'virgilio, and when Nick left the band it was really bad news, but We can never underestimate anyone, sometimes someone else can take an elephant out of a hat, and... We can say that about the new Spock's Beard album, it's really something great, after I've heard the entire album, I couldn't say it was not Spock's Beard, because it is! these guys are greater than ever, even when We heard something that would be like a  "Thoughts" sequel - (Afterthoughts), there is really something new in that, it's really a catchy song, but not only it, I think the entire album got the SB DNA, a "must buy" for sure!

I am not an expert when the subject is "djent", and I hadn't really paid attention to that, the definition can be seen here, but as I was digging Periphery CD, I tried to go further and in this quest I found this amazing band, Corelia is really something that surprised me since the first song that I've heard from them, the most interesting is that we can notice this, like.. omg.. there is really something magic here, the melody is other highlight of Nostalgia, I could compare their progressive side with the most high level that you've ever heard, it would be like a waterfall meets lava, also it's really one of the most great metalcore albums that I've listening to on my thirties...

Here & Beyond

I did not know these guys and probably I wouldn't know them if I hadn't looked for some Pagan's mind songs on YouTube, and once again I notice How funny is the destiny... speaking about their album, it's really something catchy, besides every band mate perform a great job in this album. Here and Beyond is an album that really you couldn't say it comes from India, because it's so well done, and I've never heard about some great bands from India, anyway.. it's a great progressive power metal album with some great enjoyable songs..

English Electric

The first post of the year and it couldn't start better.. Well.. as I wrote in my previous post about them, I think a trademark of BBT is the vocalist's voice really reminds Phil Collins(Genesis), but They really got your own style and in this new work it's not different. English Electric is really a perfect album with a perfect symmetry, every instrumental work, string, vocal, every single instrumental part is very well done...
