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.

Great second offer named Above The Silvered Sky from 2016 by this mexican prog metal band Vitruvius with female Dulce Robles shining all through on vocals and some impressive keyboards/guitars duelings, quite solid drumming aswell. Even all pieces from here are around 5-6 min, the passages are well constructed and well developed with some intresting instrumental parts, a piece like Heaven and hell is always a pleasure to listen, top musicianship and damn good vocal parts, the rest of the pieces are good aswell. I kinda like the debut more, but this one aswell is quite a nice one. 3.5 stars for sure, for fans of Ayreon, Symphony X, Dream Theater, etc. Intresting art work
