Oracle
Sun hails from Italy and was formed in 2002, by Frank Andiver (one
of the most important persons in Italian metal playing with
Labyrinth, Wonderland, Shadows of Steel etc.) on drums, Emy
Manuguerra (Angel Grace) on guitar, Val Shieldon (Sigma) on vocals,
Fabrizio Marnik (Seven Gates) on keyboards, and Alessandro Cola (Mandragora
Scream, Shining Fury) on bass.
This
is their debut album and a decent one, but it needs time...
Actually I was a little disappointed with this album but after
maybe 6 to 7 spins in my CD-player it began to grow on me. When I
listen to “Deep Inside” several bands comes to mind. To me
they sounds like a mix of Angra, Labyrinth, Dream Theater and
Stratovarius.
They are all very talented musicians no doubt about that! However
this album never really ignites. Except for “Changes”, “New
Sunrise”, “Stone Angel” and the fantastic instrumental track
“Riding the Sun”, the songs only reaches the level
“Decent”.
“Deep
Inside” comes with a crystal clear production, and if you are
into Progressive Power Metal maybe you should at least check this
album out.
