Rock & Metal World English Edition 46 | Page 14

Now is the turn for one of the most prominent songs in this production: Reconquista 1492. With a slow beginning using acoustic guitars with “Spanish” flavor, this acoustic sound goes slowly fading to continue with the long musical interlude, to finally give entry to the voice as the song gains a paused and heavy rhythm. It is definitively a great song, simple in its structure and with a good rhythm that remains in the mind of the listener. Run to Me shocks us again with an great, fast, and melodious riff with a more intense strength. We can listen some kind of musical dialogue between the vocalist and guitarist. It is maybe the typical metal song but in it we can listen to some interesting “games” which Petrossi does with his guitar and these are very different to others I’d listened before. A very good and interesting song. And to close this álbum we continue with the song we could name as the jewel of this disc: The Picture of Dorian Grey; with a beginning a bit mysterious that suddenly becomes something more rhythmic and powerful thanks to the job of Ramy and Vasilli. We could not forget to mention the guitar, which becomes even a greatest character than in the previous songs and now is where Dushan give us an amazing performance with some overwhelming solos; meanwhile, Mark demonstrates why he is one of the best valued singers nowadays. Great song with a fascinating rhythm, epic, passionate, and with surprising changes accompanied by some majestic drums. Just a wonderful closing for this production. 10
