It is really remarkable that albums like this one can bring something new and innovative in
todas's music!It's really essential that music moves forward with this kind of albums,and this
music must be autitioned by any amateur of what is new and original!Nowadays is extremelly
rare to bring a touch of inovation and to dare to break some barriers and to cross some
boundaries in terms of creativity and imagination!Definitelly the musicians from the North of
Europe,and I speak here about the Scandinavian countries have the will to push a little the
musical scene with all kinds of musical directions,in metal especially-
trash...power...death...black and,of course,progressive! !BEYOND TWILLINGT is something
like a fresh breath in music,and they don';t fallow any musical traces,they have their own way
trying permenently to surprise their fans and not only...Well,if we realise the fact that the
sensational JORN LANDE was on the first album of the band,of course,we have great
expectations from the actual vocalist,which is not bad at all,but sometimes I've got the feeling
that he really tries to immitate Jorn,because BEYOND TWILIGHT's music sounds like it's
been made for Jorn's amazing voice!FOR THE LOVE OF THE ART AND THE MAKING has so
many tracks,and it's almost a torture to read all the titles,musical interludes-that's a little
more...too much for the simple purpose to make even more complicated the message of this
unique,in it's way,album!We have plenty of sensational moments,the basis for the music,the
roots come from black metal sometimes and pure metal ingredients too,and the fabulous
imagination of the mastermind of the band FINN ZIERLER .The orchestration,instrumentation
is-in my opinion-....far superior to the voice of the vocalist!Sometimes thetre are too many
musical ideas in a single song and that makes the audition a little pretentious,but in a good
direction!Definitelly,it's metal,but it's not at all 100 % prog metal,it's almost impossible to
classify it... and that's good!Almost unbelieveble the timing of the album- 37 minutes,because
in the end we have the feeling that the album auditioned had at least 1 good hour!Very
recomandable album,not an easy listening ,but it worth the effort at 100 %!!!
4 STARS for an ambitions musical direction!
