Well, leaving some again for this great blog: D (barbera) XD.
This time I bring the album Art Of Life, as they told me about this album is made only by a song with a duration of 29 minutes and also carries the title track.
The person who appears on the cover as the composer of this is Yoshiki.
also is based on a Schubert symphony.

Created under the formation of: Toshimitsu "Toshi" Deyama - Voice. Hideto "Hide" Matsumoto - Guitar. Tomoaki "Pata" Ishizuka - Guitar. Yoshiki "Yoshiki" Hayashi - Piano and drums. Yasushi "Taiji" Sawada - Low.
Now I'm on vacation I take to raise the disc, as I am in better opportunities and visits also inspire me to keep writing and linking records.
And since going to the review was recently uploaded material Epica, the album 'The Phantom Agony 'to our new partner for Gabu made us go, thank you despite not having review and personal motives to the authors of the entries posted here will not alter its contents (except in some cases such as spelling, format general information on the disc or emoticons). However Epica itself had not published anything new for almost 3 years, but his latest album 'The Divine Conspiracy' I put into the blog and review some time ago, and since what I come to present on this occasion is a great album ... good are two. Although
study have been inactive, have been touring in concert and quite frequently. The funny thing is that this material that I bring is the first live album released by the band and was made in the international opera festival in Miskolc, Hungary, with the collaboration of the Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra, 40 musicians in orchestra and 30 choirs, the June 14, 2008. That is here there will be no predominance of synths but real instruments to fuel the already majestic atmosphere that is able to create the band in each of his songs. The strange thing is that the material came out almost a year later (and cause them further by Nuclear Blast Records), as regularly in other bands that have played in this way they have not taken more than a few months to publish its symphonic material.
Finally, without taking much account of those tiny details of this work was published on May 9, 2009:
This album is quite interesting and I would say original, because all he had heard symphonic Live never heard a band play with brutality Epica has acquired from his latest album, practiced since before something more gothic and now are closer to death metal. We can find very good topics of the band's latest album dominant and a curious mixture of themes and neo classical composers, from Vivaldi to Hans Zimmer.
Although the set was significantly smaller worked very well and at no time feels incomplete, the orchestra and choir in spite of being small are heard and they are very professional, so here at the expense of quality have an enormous amount. Kamelot Palotai Oliver worked in the transcription of Epica songs for orchestra and Coen Janssen reinforced some parts during transcription to make them more spectacular and get more juice to the orchestration of that disposed of, also Yves Huts Coen and vice versa transcribed in the songs composed for orchestra to plating.
Because this is the first recorded live concert that I go, I shall give details of the accomplishment.

not described in this occasion the songs because to do this post I tried, but failed to see that each one has a singular charm (as well as difficult to review the 'Holy War' in Dragonland). So my mistake that I will leave two songs and a video recording by an amateur in vivo (albeit poor quality) to evaluate this work yourself:
Dies Irae / Requiem - Giuseppe Verdi cover:
Cry For The Moon:
Cam recording: Star Wars Episode V - Imperial March cover by Epica
Finally, I make mention of the horrible amount of trouble it gave me GoEar to upload songs, so that as far as service is restored will be up to DivShare.
Greetings, and have the honor of listening to a proud Mexican band, which I introduced earlier but I'm sure more than a despised by the poor sound quality and power " stuffing. "
Anyway, I think that Aethra realized this and to correct the error created this beauty of a demo that I can not say no more deserves to be an album completito and a respectable label (which apparently no happened ... yet), because their sound is compensated with brilliant sound quality and a very outstanding power metal, which in the words of the vulgar Mexican "is not mad $/&@!!".
I believe that without limb movements recorded in the band brought to light:
many changes with respect to the last album, so now we can hear the double pedal, also detail Eduardo Gómez voice some find annoying and others still look like they like it better than ever, and it is best to listen to Rick with his acoustic and electric guitars. There
intro like the previous album, but 'Drop In The Sky' is good enough to be on your very cosmic feeling with a keyboard that actually involve. Followed by the guitar sounds very good (with technique clearly taken the Hard Rock) and missed drum pedal, we find a song with influences semiprogresivas, being slow with the exception of the choir that is the end speed. I can not find a better way to insert a disc like this, which is cargadísimo of feeling and reflection of the title is able to delve into an abstract universe easily.
Well, a lullaby ... or rather a bizarre but gentle start to the song which is strongest around the disk, and some metalheads who appreciate the band's best creation ever heard: 'Far Beyond The Distant Skies. " This if double bass is pure, sublime arrangements of keyboards and a real beauty to the acoustic guitar. Filled with happiness and energy this song is able to fly with the reflection of the title, led the most sense ... so do not expect to find many techniques in composition, but rather a very deep feeling.
'Make Me Believe' is even more sentimental by nature of its power ballad, and although the beginning of the song not register much in the way international piano keyboard we realize that this band just wants to get tears when we hear many of his songs, because he is done with a beautiful arrangement of guitars and voice makes once again lace perfectly with the quiet songs, is one of the ballads that I liked most in my life .
'Wishmaker' is ... strange, it is still good and better than many songs of power metal but I like finished, should be more than anything it's strange home. But full listen you realize that is tasteful and well groomed at all times, with one feeling quite sometime Egyptian of the song but always cheerful and with a very catchy percussion, you can not miss. 'The Right Way To Home' comes with an introduction very strawberry (for but the truth), but greatly admire the vocal work and that is what I consider the best work on this aspect because the voice is extremely melodic, and although initially shielded strawberry no longer power metal because from the beginning of the chorus we can see a deep work on guitars and drums that fit perfectly.
'In The Eye Of The Storm' is interesting, slow but very good guitar work all the time, very noticeable feature is progressive for its beats reaching change on many occasions and can be described as 'sad song' disc, as its slow but more neutral sound that reflect something of melancholy joy. And finally this demo will surely make them short, 'When The Sunset Falls' closes this beautiful work with a very rock sound in the beginning, but very light, and where you can hear more progressive than ever, the musical beat, but never leaves nature of power metal and becomes beautiful to the end.
is strictly recommended, give a listen to the song you put on shows, will surely envelop.
