Vanishing Point Profile
Personnel changes and seven years removed from predecessor The Fourth Season, these Melburnians continue to play to their (substantial) strengths. An hour-plus of deeply melodic, lush prog-metal, vocalist Silvio Massaro possesses an urgent, soulful quality suggesting he could sing the Yellow Pages and still engage audiences, here lifting majestic Let The River Run and As December Fades to grander heights. Symphonic flourishes are thankfully no mere window dressing; pointed, thoughtful guitar lines increasingly seep into your subconscious. Boasting anthems-in-the-making a la power metal gem When Truth Lies and Era Zero, the European market beckons.
