Journey of a Twilight Soul: Part One - The Awakening

Then the guitars come in for the spooky Creep Evil before pummeling you. Six minutes later, synths come in that momentarily break the flow, but the solo is great. The rest of the album alternates between heavy guitars and slightly softer synths, but it never gets truly soft. If Beyond Twilight continues to make creative and gasp! Ok, now, back to the actual rating It seems to me Beyond Twilight was just another power prog metal band like so many others before this album He also knew that to stand out in this genre one must do something BIG, something that makes us do "aaaahhhs..

I mean, can you go any further, can you break more boundaries as a band after this?

Then take a confusing but original concept, throw some exceptional keyboard playing in the mix, some latin here and there, goosebumps sections and Beyond Twilight came up with a pretty original idea - to create a prog metal opera consisting of 43 short interconnected fragments that are basically a bunch of solos some of them shorter than the time needed to read their titles , that could be rearranged and still deliver a coherent listen. To give this four or three stars? Well, I feel inclined to give it three but the concept and ambition forces a four.

Intended, I suspect as a single track, this reasonably short album has 43 parts that make up one 38 minute song. Just that the song as it is presented in the order it is isn't th It is really remarkable that albums like this one can bring something new and innovative in todas's music!

It's really essential that music moves forward with this kind of albums,and this music must be autitioned by any amateur of what is new and original! Nowadays is extremelly rare to bring For the Love of Art and the Making came out of nowhere last year, at least for me, and I know a lot of forum members were stunned at how this album by somewhat unheard of prog-metal band Beyond Twilight was gearing to be one of the top rated releases off So, I wanted to see what the hype A first meaning MYTH , with a storybook that This album has many scattered moments of genius, but it isn't a satisfying experience overall.

The concept of 43 tracks is a great idea, but it just doesn't work in practice. Sadly, this album is brought down to an average level by its inaccessible structure and inconsistence of quality. This album could've been a great album, since the instrumental parts are overall brilliant. But unfortunately Beyond Twilight still hasn't found a man to back up their incredibly high vocal ambitions since Jorn Lande. I would qualify this Beyond Twilight album as As usual, brilliant musicianship by the whole band, but this album is not an epic as it aims to be.

Not enough consistency for my taste, many filler riffs, incoherent passages sometimes linking in a sensless w Cut into 43 pieces of short passages, the album itself doesn't reveal the reason to be divided into that many pieces, and however all the elem The best album of for me, and one of the bests ever.

To the reasons yet written I will add the enormous complexity of the lyrics, as you can see in: The 43 amazing tracks mixed every musical genres that you can imagine. Ever since my ears heard the first few seconds of this album, I've been mys This is a trend setting album in it's day and I'm sure this album will b It starts off with what seems like a Symphony X Divine Wings of Tragedy spinoff where there are chorus vocals, and its just like s I don't understand how this can be 1 in the prog-archives lis for Well, I have the doubtful honor of being the first in give this album the 4 star rating.

Let me tell you why: This is the typical album not good enough to be a masterpiece but good enough to be more than a "excellent addition" to any prog music collection". So, why don't rate it with 5 star Let me first state that I am not a huge prog metal fan. Then a friend persuaded me to purchase the new Beyond Twilight disc I can only say that this album has compl Album of the year. This might well be it.

At least it is my personal candidate for I haven't heard anything like this before. This album has it all. Each subsequent spin had me even more inspired at the outstanding musicianship and incredible arrangements. And I do mean incredible. Numerous themes and styles are introduced on the album. Hundreds and hundreds of them. This is one of the most diverse, innovative and complicated albums I've ever listene You must be a forum member to post a review, please register here if you are not.

This is my favorite album thus released in ' These guys have set the bar real high, and it will be interesting to see if anyone can top them. I had heard some material from years past, and it was not my kind of metal. I heard about this new album which was one big song, divided up into 43 tracks, which could supposedly be shuffled for a new experience every time.

Intriguing, but I wasn't going to pounce on it. However, I did look out for reviews on the archives to see how it was received by others. After having maitained a 5. The sample from the band's website was proof enough that this had purchase-worthy quality. I was very surprised. It was so epic and powerful, and it was only three minutes of the song!

The new vocalist surely outdid whoever worked with them before. He had a "metal" voice, but it was, thankfully, more than just that. The feeling and melody coming from the vocals were excellent. The music was complex, but not bombastic.

Despite all the pretencious track listing and lyrics, the music itself does not go far the traditional and completely out-of-date heavy-metal structures with mediocre symphonic arrangements played without any sign of passion. They are in a terrain bands like Symphony X, Andromeda, Evergrey, Eternity X, Fates no More and many many more almost uncountable embraced many years ago. For the Art of Love and making is a 38 minute suite divided into 43 very short tracks.

He leverages this position and the Hakazit lust for war and combat to raise an army to fight on Brazil's behalf. In contrast, Yua finds what seems like a hopeless situation in Awbri. The society there is dominated by the males, because every month the females go into heat referred to as the Time which can only be relieved by mating with a male.

Just as Yua is despairing of being able to do her part to assist Brazil, she receives instructions which had been planted subconsciously by Obie. These instructions give Yua the recipe for making a hormonal replacement that will prevent the Time from occurring. Fortified with the means to gain control from the men, Yua sets about raising her own army. Mavra prefers to begin in Dillia by journeying to the neighboring hex of Gedemondas.

She recalls that during her previous visit to the Well World, she had seen that the inhabitants there had amazing mental powers, with the ability to control the thoughts of others. She believes that the Gedemondans would be powerful allies, and she wants to do something more than just sit and wait until she is called. Mavra is able to catch on with a hunting party headed by Colonel Asam, as Asam has heard the stories of Mavra's previous visit to the Well World and is also very interested in meeting a Gedemondan.

Their party is waylaid near their first overnight rest stop in Gedemondas. Although they succeed in fighting off the attackers, several members of the party perish and Mavra is critically injured by a blow to the head, putting her in a coma for three days. After turning the other wounded members of the group over to a rescue party, Mavra and Asam travel further into Gedemondas. At one of their rest stops, the Gedemondans arrive to meet them. Holding Mavra and Asam in thrall, the Gedemondans heal their wounds, then discuss the mission to repair the Well.

Mavra asks for their assistance, but is not told whether it will be offered. The Gedemondans inform her of a council of war that will soon be conducted in the empty Gedemondan embassy in South Zone, and Mavra suggests that the fastest way to get there is via the Gedemondan Zone Gate. The Gedemondans take her and Asam there, though they do not allow either traveller to remember anything of the journey. At the council, the three conspirators are reunited, and they learn of one another's new forms. The last member of the council is Gypsy, who inexplicably retains the same appearance as he had before arriving at the Well World.
