Italian
progressive metal band Twinspirits return
with their third album “Legacy” on 18th
February 2011. “Legacy” takes all the best
aspects of the bands previous two releases
and adds a heavier dynamic and more cohesive
sound thanks to a fixed line-up, the same
that delivered the highly praised “The
Forbidden City” and spent time on the road
promoting that release.
“Legacy”
marks the second album of vocalist Göran
Nyström in the band, and his voice delivers
another commanding performance over the
material penned by band mastermind and
keyboardist Daniele Liverani. Guitarist
Tommy Ermolli takes a heavier role this time
round whilst the rhythm section of bassist
Alberto Rigoni and drummer Dario Ciccioni
hold down the complex patterns with
precision.
“Legacy” is
divided in 2 main parts. In the first part
we have 6 powerful straight ahead songs,
still being progressive in nature and with a
more direct feel to them than has been heard
from the band before. The second part of the
album is a multi suite movement, “The
Endless Sleep”, divided in 5 songs
(symphonic intro + 4 songs) that is more
like an album within an album being very
theatrical and visionary.
On the
albums lyrical slant Liverani comments,
“Lyrically the first 6 songs are independent
to the suite, and are cover subject,
including personal experiences, thoughts
about life in this era, and different kind
of reflections of human beings into this
modern world we are living in”.
“The second part, the suite, is covering a
concept story that runs through a journey
that the main character is undertaking after
a premature death, whereby he’s discovering
a role that he's involved in after he passes
away, and the meeting with a superior entity
that is giving him a sort of second chance
to get back to the human life to accomplish
a human rescue mission as a second
millennium messiah...a very struggling story
that will be revealed part by part of “the
endless sleep” 30 min. suite. The key points
of the concept are in part “I'm leaving this
world” where the main character describes
the moment he passes away and his extra body
experience, the song “Legacy” where we have
the relationship between him and the
superior entity that is explaining his new
role in the afterlife, the songs “what am I
supposed to do” is a very moving moment
where he meets his parents while he's back
to human life temporary, and the final part
“tell me the truth” continues the
description of the relationship of the main
character with his afterlife guide mentor”.
Twinspirits
