Once I heard the debut album, wonderful music but there are so many good new Italian bands! I just got the first Doracor CD, splendid symphonic rock with great keyboard sound  !

I have it/ Heard it on;y 3 times, but it seems to be very good. Need some more listens though, since it is packed with so many musical ideas and lengthy songs.

I have listened to it several times and I hear new things with every listen and appreciate it more each time. They have really progressed from previous albums.
This album is so full of musical ideas and there are various msuical textures to it, a spectacular show of both musicianship and compositional skills. I need to listen to it more, to really know this from head to toes.

Retro bands...get a life and do something new!
I love prog but regressive music is not good for anyone, I see a bright horizon for music that escapes the conventions of classic prog but only if people ascribe to it. Like I said on another post "prog is not independant of culture" and the culture does not support the elements that made classic symphonic rock good. Stop using the past as a crutch and start innovating.

Yes, it appears to be a very convincing album!
Lots of stunning musical ideas, catching atmosphere, wonderful variety!
P.S. Did you notice the winged red demon (with horns) behind the church's glass?
BTW, ADE is the god of the deads...LUX is the latin word for LIGHT...two opposites....................a new FELONA e Sorona???

Thanks for the info on the album's name, I was intrigued by this.
I only now notice the demon  Usually I inspect covers with much attention but htis time I missed it.

Great to read Andrea C. his wonderful, sheer euphoric review (thanks for the Italian lyrics explanations ) about the new La Maschera Di Cera cd and Ivan his very positive review about the first Triana album, another proghead who discovered the Prog Andaluz?!
