Italian bands just get better every day.Secret Sphere´s latest
album "A time never come" is a bit more "progressive" than their
debut,"Mistress of the shadowlight". But there are still those great power metal
tunes with killer guitar & keyboard solos and drums able to drill all trough your head
into your brain.The production of the album has been very well threaten,divided in
chapters that presents a story with the same mystical topic as its predessesor.The inital
tracks reflect some slight changes in the bands style , but nothing to be worried about.
More keyboards don´t make a band sounds lighter but a bit, more "progressive"
as I already said.The voice is as sharp as on "Mistress.." being this one of the
highlights of the band. Some "trashy" riffs give a darker ambience in some of
the tracks contrasted with the heavy tunes that predomine the album.The band has improve
in musical structure and syncronization, wich makes them sound a more professional than in
"Mistress..".The orchestration and the use of instruments not usually heard on a
metal album give a sensation of musical mature, eager to proof anything. Being this their
second album,Secret Sphere has a great future at least in my opinion.
Score: 8/10
