HEART OF SUN

Heart of Sun a prog metal band from Italy formed around guitarist Gianluca Ferro who already had contributions in another italian prog metal band Time Machine and aswell he has a solo career. Heart of Sun released one album selftitled in 2007 at galileo records. In last years lots of prog metal bands emerged from Italy like Mind Key, Twinspirists, etc included Heart of Sun who definetly pay tribute to DT, musicaly speaking. The arrangements are well constructed there are plenty of great interplays and the musicians are skilful, what suffers as on many bands is originality, being to much same with DT. Lenghty pieces, complicated twists, changes in tempo, climates and a wonderful voice of Pino Tozzi who is fiting perfectly here. As highlights to me are, the opening instrumental Res Amissa, Evil Tree or another intrsting instrumental 2016 AD. NEt is places almost going progressive electronic but fueld with the marvelous guitar chops of Gianluca Ferro who realy know to handle the instument. All in all, nothing is awesome or groundbreaking here but is pleasent most of the time 3 stars that mean good. Similar with bands mentioned above.
