FACT AND FICTION

An album of acquired taste that becomes an addiction, at least to the more "darker" listener. Powerful compositions with excellent orchestration, which are elevated by extraordinary and passionate vocals, delivering deep social and philosophical lyrics. Twelfth Night created a seminal album, a true landmark of the neo-prog genre, that manages to bring out suppressed feelings of reaction (or rebellion to be more precise) towards the social hypocrisy and ugliness of the modern world. The atmosphere of the music is mainly depressing and melancholic, however, there are certain breaks of light and optimism, calling for a more positive attitude towards life, spreading the message of love.
