THE ART OF NAVIGATING BY THE STARS

The Art of Navigating by the Stars. this is the first record and experience i had of this band, recently. i turned into sophisticated and a sense of change and i found maturity, musicality, taste and a very emotional aproach on this one.

Arno menses has a sweet tone of voice. acording to the compositions, the atmospheric guitars and synths... does a great job, and Backing vocals are just awesome. it´s contagious his sensitiveness when perfom the songs, conect to the listener to the theme. guitar job also, it´s impresive here... lots of post production fx... riffing is eclectic... arpegios, melodies and good prog pasaes in 7/8 aother metrics... guitar and bass do some good polirithm and ostinatos here. i see this album not as a metal-progresive album, yet, i understand dissapoinment, and could share it. i think the focus of this metalheads on this album is they setled down, took pen and paper, inspiration and a great degree of sensitiveness. i found the fact of 2 power-progresive monsters playing in this album showing his taste to make somethig beyond (or nearest) we usually spect of the stereotype of metalhead as the holdzward bros. i found as a drummer, stigmata the lonely view of condorsand stigmata like my personal favs. drumming here has a cool aproach. oportune, and intense without overshadow the music and what goes around.

i put simply. everytime i add music on my mp3, this is the only disc remains. metal doesnt means always heavy, also means tastefull and valuable...
