06. Portrait F In Dark Waters

08. Section X

The "Devils Hall of Fame" was one of the albums that shacked the last decade. Not only because of the terrific performances of the musicians (more specifically Jorn Lande, who is fascinating) or for the concept being at least astonishing, but also for the unique quality of Finn Zievler’s music. His latest album titled "Section X" was recently released and once more it nailed me down ingeniously.

Once more the concept is breath taking. Is one about the intervention a man can make to his brain, giving an excellent example (detail discovery will doubtlessly immobilize you and most important it will make you think again that is to say that it imposes progressive metal)
The performances are perfect. The guitarists’ presence assists to it as well.

What troubled me before I even listen to section X was the withdrawal of Jorn and the performance of his understudy Kelly Karpenter. Believe me when I say he wasn’t bad at all, having an extraordinary charismatic voice that reminds a lot of Jorn, working mostly to handle the hard undertaking (you will understand what I am talking about as soon as you listen to it).

The music of Beyond Twilight insists on having the same features as the "Devils Hall of Fame" working even more on the details in moments where you listen to the CD in admiration recognizing that something very great is coming out of the resonator. Dark atmosphere, theatrical, with transitions of classical, but also oriental music. Do not imagine it being something nerveless and mostly experimental instead of metal. Guitar riffs are changing one by one and Finns’ keys are shivering. In conclusion, it is one of the best albums I have heard in the field of Metal.

Bottom line: The marker here could be greater, but who knows. Maybe Finns’ next game with mind will surpass even "Section X". I am looking for the second best album of the year. The best is called "Section X".
