Labyrinth can in fact boast a discography of the highest level full of notable peaks, so much so that a hypothetical tier list dedicated to them would see 3 completely empty categories and one poorly filled...
So let's come to this new work that confirms the state of grace of the group by offering us 10 tracks of notable quality, with a base solidly anchored to power-prog of Labyrinth matrix but pushing a little more on the speed, sometimes similar to thrash; many changes of tempo and solutions adopted, without however this compromising the harmony of the individual pieces that in fact flow immediately despite their various nuances.

The band plays divinely and the sound is simply capital to have more often than similar productions. No less valuable are the lyrics, never banal and full of meaning (I only mention the moving "To the son I never had"). It is not my habit to do track by track and even less will I do it now, I will only tell you that there is not in the whole album - and it lasts a good hour - half a blank passage, half a second too much or a single superfluous or minor song, everything travels on unconstitutional levels of excellence, even more so if you think that these gentlemen have made excellence without repetition and without resting on past achievements their trademark!
An album to HAVE, without ifs and buts! This is metal, this is Music, these are Labyrinth!
