Jeez, this is an ambitious project. But a good one, methinks.
Get this: Heleno Vale is a Brazilian drummer. He's obviously crazy about
symphonic power metal and has the heart and courage to contact everyone he
thinks is cool in the genre.
The result: A list of no less than 20 (twenty) singers, and they're not just any
singers, nono. We talk Jon Oliva, Zak Stevens, Edu Falascha and a number of
other singers who know what's what.
Roland Grapow's name is also on the list of involved musicians, along with a
number of South American musicians.
The result is an album that does impress, even someone like me who's not really
a genre faithful. There is little bad to say about 'The Labyrint of Truth' - if
you like the bands that grew from what Savatage started with 'Streets' and
Helloween with the Keepers, then you really don't want to miss out on this one.
Fantastic album, no more, no less.
