Beyond the Labyrinth – Chapter III – Stories (2011)

The good thing is that this album's vast sound territory can please different listeners of the same core, in combination with the gentle production that doesn't disarm the melodic dynamics of such an album. Along with the eloquent heaviness, the non-exaggerating, beautiful solos, the atmosphere-evoking keyboards and piano parts, the well-accompanying rhythm section and melodic, clean vocal lines that enrich the ambiance the way they should. Also, it's nice witnessing that the compositions work well together as a whole and at the same time they hold a personality of their own. You can see the album like a story book, as the title says, a whole series of stories, but the stories themselves can stand on their own. The bad thing now, 60 minutes may tire a bit, but this can always change according to one's musical tastes, so don't actually count it as something negative, but as a personal array.
