3 stars Amazing work really.

We can mention the huge (over a hundred minute) creation is a kind of miracle produced by FORBIDDEN MYTH founded by a Greek multi-instrumentalist / producer Antonis ADELFIDIS. His endless creativity as a lyrical composer is overflowing on this opus firmly for shaping a robust long novel. Antonius and his musical colleagues would go forward straightly as a precision manufacturer with eight storytellers ... that such tight instrumental techniques and favourable composition / production all over the album can tell. Each track is composed simply and friendly, full of catchy melody lines and non-complicated rhythmic bases. Art rock or crossover progressive rock fans could be immersed in this pop texture but quirky rock fans like avantgarde, post, or psychedelic freaks could feel something crazy is missing via this album.

"Light's Predominance" possesses quite cool pop structure. Their playings (especially Antonius' synthesizer and Swede's drumming) are had-edged but sensitive. The combination of catchiness and hard rock passion is pretty listener-friendly. On the contrary, melodic (and synthetic) instability through the first shot is another mystery. Good for us is such a melodic / atmospheric contrast. Brilliant keyboard timbre is immersive and impressive in "A Ring Between Her Eyes" or "The Luminescent Girl". One of my favourite tracks "Sirin Ablaze" involves ethnic movements and kinetic melodious madness along with deep guitar riffs and heavy strict drumming. This stuff can be called as Heavy Prog. The epilogue "Epilogue Of Forgiveness" is flooded with beautiful keyboard-based dreamy theatrical vibes and grooves, that can notify us this would go well with their last run.

This amazing work will make us full stomach. At any rate we can give the project words of praise because of such a collective of colourful sound grandeur.
