3 stars Fernando Refay is one of the respected prog rock artist from Argentina in last decade. He release under his name 4 albums since 2010.

His second offer from 2014, named The day we came to realise being the best so far. Is a concept album, described in his own words " A concept album that tells the story of the survivors of the earth after a nuclear holocaust ", well, that is proving the great art work aswell, I can say is like a rock opera, not far from Ayreon albums

Fernando is a multi instrumentalist, he can handle very well keyboards, piano and even some vocals here and there, but have a pletora of guests here, some of them being from Vanished From Earth band where Refay is member all done a good job in the end.

The music is quite elaborated, specially the instrumental sections, maybe the vocal parts are not quite so strong, only ok, the pieces are long with opening track Balad clocking around 25 min is a winner. Melodic lines combined with more edgy make from this second album a good listen, something between symphonic prog rock and prog metal. Keyboards are all the time used throughout the entire album and in combinatian with the melodic prog metal parts and atmospheric symphonic arrangements and textures giving a worthy album.

Fernando Refay done a good job on this album and I thing worth investigated. 3.5 stars for sure.
