│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ That cover with the black-clad violinist with ║ │
│║ covered eyes where the waves splash under a ║ │
│║ stormy sky has got to be one of the covers that ║ │
│║ 2007 has to offer that is as truly beautiful as ║ │
│║ it is poetic and I canÆt help to confess being ║ │
│║ in love by its look. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But could I fall in love with the music inside? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It was in 2005 that I came across ôEmbrace The ║ │
│║ Silenceö and fell in love with these ║ │
│║ AustraliansÆ brand of Melodic Metal. With some ║ │
│║ European Power Metal and Progressive Metal ║ │
│║ influences, like Dream Theater focused on melody ║ │
│║ with SavatageÆs capacity to translate emotions ║ │
│║ into music, Vanishing PointÆs sound relied on ║ │
│║ emotional and elaborate vocal melodies by the ║ │
│║ impressive Silvio Massaro, whose nasal and warm ║ │
│║ tone was perfect to guide the listener through ║ │
│║ the bandÆs deep lyrics that steered away from ║ │
│║ the typical verse/chorus structure. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Two years went by and ôThe Fourth Seasonö ║ │
│║ represents the bandÆs return with the same ║ │
│║ ingredients, all present from the beginning with ║ │
│║ the memorable ôEmbodimentö and proceeding along ║ │
│║ to ôTyranny of Distanceö and ôSurrenderö, a song ║ │
│║ of undeniable genius. One song after another, ║ │
│║ the same refrained progressive metal, the same ║ │
│║ intelligent and deep lyrics and the enveloping ║ │
│║ vocals culminating in choruses that are ║ │
│║ overwhelming without having to be exaggerated or ║ │
│║ over the top. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But if each song is a fascinating cloth of ║ │
│║ melody and technique, that doesnÆt mean that if ║ │
│║ you have heard one, youÆve heard them all. In a ║ │
│║ subtle way, time signatures change, rhythms ║ │
│║ transform and variety is assured all the time. ║ │
│║ Compare the absolutely unforgettable ôHope Among ║ │
│║ The Heartlessö with the aggressive ôAshen Skyö ║ │
│║ and youÆll know what I mean. The band itself ║ │
│║ evolved, hardening its sound and feelings ║ │
│║ conveyed, concentrating in shorter and more ║ │
│║ focused songs without compromising their essence ║ │
│║ for a single moment. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And if after all of this you need a crowning ║ │
│║ moment to this album, you have it with ôA Day Of ║ │
│║ Differenceö with its melancholic guitar, ║ │
│║ SilvioÆs passionate vocals, and exemplary ║ │
│║ narrations by Peter OÆToole. And when you read ║ │
│║ ôPeter OÆTooleö, you take a bow if you donÆt ║ │
│║ mind. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For all the reasons you can think of, ôThe ║ │
│║ Fourth Seasonö is an album of flagrant melodic ║ │
│║ and lyrical brilliancy, whose elegance and ║ │
│║ emotional strength will be hard to even equal. ║ │
│║ Those happy to know the band have here yet ║ │
│║ another reason to deepen their devotion for the ║ │
│║ Australians, while those that donÆt know them ║ │
│║ have in ôThe Fourth Seasonö an irresistible ║ │
│║ reason to meet their music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All around, unquestionably one of this yearÆs ║ │
│║ most astonishing albums and one youÆll love more ║ │
│║ with each new listen. ║ │
