Review:
Ever since i began listening to metal, ive had a weak spot for the italian progressive power metal scene, w bands like Vision Divine n DGM. I have been familiar w this band before this release, but i havent rly listened to them. This will surerly change, because Kingcrow w their 5th full-length have released an album filled of w great songs.
In metal-style i would say they lean towards bands like Disillusion n Shadow Gallery, w influence from modern progressive rock n swedish progressive rock/metal, where i hear The Flower Kings n Pain Of Salvation, whom they toured w in n. america this may.

Highly Recommended
