VISION DIVINE – When All The Heroes Are Dead (2019)
VISION DIVINE new album ‘When All The Heroes Are Dead’ will be released on October 25th, 2019, where the melodic progressive metal act sounds catchy as ever now including the mesmerizing talents of Mike Terrana (the busiest drummer in the business) and Ivan Giannini, one of the hottest newcomers among metal singers.
Recorded & mixed by talented Simone Mularoni, ‘When All The Heroes Are Dead’ is easily Vision Divine’s beat album to date.
When it’s well done as we heard here, there’s a certain magic about modern progressive metal that’s hard to free myself from, and Vision Divine remind me of how deep under its spell I am.
From the first instances of ‘The 26th Machine’, the choirs, the motivating sound of the vocals and those mountainous ‘larger than life’ moments, shot with the power and precission associated with the genre. Even more special moment occurred when the keyboard solos kicked in, hence I had already sunken deep beneath the enchantment of Vision Divine.
Heading down the order to tracks like ‘3 Men Walk on the Moon’, ‘Fall from Grace’ and ‘Were I God’, the dosage of nostalgia is turned up even more, now I really believe it is the early 2000s.
Those tracks trace the very blueprint of melodic progressive metal with even more precision. It was a done deal, I could not get over how good this new album “When All the Heroes Are Dead” turned out to be.
The movement between various moods is phenomenal. Musically, the band is impeccable (special mention to Terrana’s killer drum work, while new vocalist Ivan Gianni feels vital, powerful & clean. His high and low pitches are sincere; thus, the feelings are conveyed convincingly; hear ‘While the Sun is Turning Back’ and you’ll understand; such a beautiful song, great riffs, tone, lots of emotional content, incredibly good vocals, absolutely enthralling prog metal music.
Vision Divine have such a cohesive blend of tempos and emotions it’s easy to see why they have and continue to be a dominant force in progressive metal; and with the addition of new singer Ivan Gianni, the band’s future seems to be intact.
You need this record if you love melodic progressive metal, “When All The Heroes Are Dead” is poetry in motion.
