EARTHCRY – Where the Road Leads 2012

now!

The album in question is a full leght more than an hour, during which it is poured upon the listener a good dose of rock and technical metal, emotion and melody. Although everything is completely self-produced and the brainchild of Enrico Sidoti, drummer and author of the ten tracks that make up the work, right from the start it is clear that the quality of the work is very high. Sounds crisp and crystalline piano first and then guitar, vocals accompany the first dell’italianissimo Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth), than the usual class leads us to New Fading Sun, the first trip and the first masterpiece of the disc. A granite guitar riffs, and a deeply moving carpet of

keyboards supported by an impressive battery work opens with a duet between rods and Mark Basile (DGM), other star all-Italian, creating a contrast of sounds really exciting, which emphasizes the differences that characterize the protagonists interpreted by the great uvula nostrane. Yes, because the work is a concept that escorted us in mysterious apparitions, ancient peoples and twists, all narrated by six characters, each played by a different singer. It is England that this time there is the voice of Damian Wilson (Threshold, StarOne, Ayreon, Headspace), in a passage (Hospitality) where he played the sweet refrain, is opposed to powerful verses and a mix of futuristic sounds . Recall meet in the fourth character and the unmistakable voice of the Teutonic Oliver Hartmann (Avantasia), which transforms this mid tempo with strong prog influences into a real gem.

The quartet tackles the fifth chapter, giving rise to an interesting juxtaposition of voices and instruments, until you get to Landscapes, another true pear disc. Introduced by keyboards from the future, it is the largest Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage, Circle II Circle) to lead the dance in what is perhaps the most catchy song of the entire lot, rhythmic and extremely melodic, with a chorus that you you plant in your head. There are also here grafts prog and swirling guitar solos and keyboards. Then pull your breath for a moment at the seventh stop of this trip, where Wilson and Stevens accompanied by an intense piano melody give life to the slow album. And during the chorus just the U.S. takes us down memory lane to the glories of the legendary EpicMetal Band of Florida. But the time for us to rilassasri is over because the alarm on Uncharted is a rabid Marco Sandron (Phatosray, Fairyland, Eden’s Course) another piece of 90 of the Italian scene that demonstrates incredible versatility and the ability to move practically on each tab.
Unfortunately, we are in the final stages and after the instrumental The Tample, full of changes, sounds and technicalities never too wordy, we face the ultimate suite of eight minutes abundant. Now the story reaches its climax and every actor plays his part to perfection. Of particular value is just the final chorus of this majestic Inside, where instruments and voices affirm their identity and the great ability to amalgamate.
An introduction, nine chapters and a concentrate of emotion as long I did not feel. Played cleanly and sung by some of the most representative voices of the current landscape. A job that requires different plays to be assimilated, in order to appreciate the nuances, the grafts and quotes. Enrico “Sydoz” Sidoti has the considerable merit of having made something that really enhances the great interpreters of this work, instruments and voice of this story. A product truly balanced fruit also of the precious presence of Simone Mularoni the console. The Rimini gave further proof of his great ability as a producer and sound engineer. A really interesting mix of sounds, compact and never dispersed, probably not perfect but it is a brick that alone is already significant for what could be a future is looking very bright.

I’m not a journalist, I have never reviewed a disc and perhaps my emotional involvement does not make me particularly goal, but the emotions that come listen to this concept is true and profonde.Per once I feel very lucky and privileged to have enjoyed such great marvel, hoping that it remains a succosissima preview and not a broken dream. Why the music scene really needs this record, which can not and must not remain closed on some digital archive.
I conclude with a heartfelt thanks to those who allowed me to write these lines, in particular, as well as the head of the project, all those Italian artists, who despite an enormous talent, did not get (yet) all the glory they deserve.
