ABOVE THE SILVERED SKY

Above The Silvered Sky is the second album by Mexican band Vitruvius and it was self-released in 2016 after a long, painstaking studio work with a line up featuring Dulce Robles (vocals), Ronnie Rodriguez (drums) and multi- instrumentalist and composer Oskar Villarreal (guitars, bass, keyboards) with the help of keyboardist Lucas Espinoza on three tracks. The result of their efforts is an interesting album, rich in ideas and oozing passion. Quiet, pastoral passages alternate with heavier parts where 'steaming, flowing waves' of dark energy can stir your imagination and take you across the sky for an unexpected voyage above the clouds of the daily grind... Well, maybe the wonderful artwork by Carlos Vargas describes the music and lyrics better than my all words! Recommended to fans of bands such as Dream Theater or Symphony X.
