SECRET ║ │ │║ ALLIANCE confirms my opinion with their outer cosmic ║ │ │║ Progressive Hard Rock album ôSolar Wardenö. SECRET ALLIANCE ║ │ │║ was founded by guitarist Gianluca Galli (SILVER HORSES & ║ │ │║ MANTRA) initially as his solo project, but found he was ║ │ │║ wanting to create music with some extra complexity ║ │ │║ involved. He recruited the incredible Ricardo Confessori ║ │ │║ (ex-ANGRA) and fantastic hard rock bassist Tony Franklin to ║ │ │║ round out the constant members in every song. There are ║ │ │║ many guest musicians on this futuristic/sci-fi inspired ║ │ │║ album including Frank Gambale (CHICK COREA BAND) and Alex ║ │ │║ Masi. These great musicians create a futuristic world in ║ │ │║ sound. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ When I initially read the premise about this album, I was ║ │ │║ almost anticipating something really space-age in sound, ║ │ │║ maybe with some synthesizers blended in. Instead, I was ║ │ │║ surprised that it sounds more like retro Hard Rock with ║ │ │║ weird time signatures and key changes. There's a bluesy ║ │ │║ vibe stirred in too especially in the opening track ôWe're ║ │ │║ All Inö and in the third track ôWalking Manö. ôLast Dayö is ║ │ │║ the first track to actually have a prominent progressive ║ │ │║ feel with some intriguing time signature changes happening ║ │ │║ throughout. The bass lines and guitars contrast really well ║ │ │║ in this one. Finally a bit of synth action at the end of ║ │ │║ the song too! ôThe Wardensö comes in with a nasty (in a ║ │ │║ good way) bass line. There's a really great solo in this ║ │ │║ one and the chorus is so catchy! ôDaily Miracleö was the ║ │ │║ first song to make me think 'so, this has been a great hard ║ │ │║ rock albumà but damn, these songs are way more intricate ║ │ │║ than I thought'. The guitars paired with the drums from ║ │ │║ Ricardo are stellar. ôNo Faithö is the main track that let ║ │ │║ the vocals shine brightest. Andrea Ranfagni really brings ║ │ │║ it with some angsty/cynical vocals. ôComet Smileö starts ║ │ │║ out pretty slow, but then chaos ensues in the middle and ║ │ │║ you can imagine a giant meteor whirling toward the planet. ║ │ │║ ôDark Sideö is the heaviest song on the album. The riffs ║ │ │║ are gritty and I get a slight Grunge Rock feel from this ║ │ │║ song. ôAbun D'bashmayoö is the closing track and has this ║ │ │║ strange dreamy vibe about it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Overall, ôSolar Wardenö is one hell of a Hard Rock album. I ║ │ │║ didn't catch the Progressive sub-genre all that much, but ║ │ │║ it might be something that will take multiple listens ║ │ │║ (beyond the 3 times I listened) for me to notice more of ║ │ │║ it. The riffs are great and catchy, the guitars were ║ │ │║ definitely the main highlight of this album for me. The ║ │ │║ general feel of this album wasn't as melancholy as ║ │ │║ described, but I'm pleased that it was more 'steal a space ║ │ │║ pod and explore the galaxy' through most of it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lineup: ║ │ │║ Gianluca Galli û guitars ║ │ │║ Andrea ôRanfaö Ranfagni û vocals ║ │ │║ Ricardo Confessori û drums ║ │ │║ Tony Franklin û bass ║ │ │║ Frank Gambale û guitar ║ │ │║ Alex Masi û guitar ║ │ │║ Andrea Bartolini û bass ║ │ │║ Andrea Castelli û bass ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
