Those who follow my reviews will probably have seen for themselves that I try to be brief and that I prefer in few sentences the reader to get a hint of what he is about to listen. This is one of the few times that I don’t care in describing the album. I will try in a few words to analyze the phenomenon that is called Beyond Twilight with a view to provoke readers out of curiosity to run to the closest disc-shop and buy one of their CDs. After that the obtainment of their discography will automatically take its’ way, believe me.

If you ask me with whose band does their music sound like, the answer is easy. With no ones. In each album there are some common musical features, each very different from one another and the result is very unique. In B.T.’s music you will encounter slow passages, fast passages, theatrical parts, operatic parts, symphonic fast solos, heavy riffs, slow leads, all under a veil of dark atmosphere that makes you feel that an obscure cloud is taking over your ears and mind for the 37 minutes that the album lasts. It is true that even though you listen to all these different things in the CD, you believe that the album lasts twice the time it does. Once more he has made wild discovery on the man who took over the vocals. Bjorn Jansson of Tears of Anger truly astonished me. I don’t believe that a mundane with the boisterous Lande voice, but also schizophrenic has ever gotten to the skin of his role so perfectly. Perfect choice.

Bottom Line: We are in the middle of the year and I have already chosen the album of the year. The mark couldn’t have been more subjective. Because of the music of “For the Love of Art and the Making” being particularly thick, I suggest that before you listen to “For the Love of Art and the Making” try listening or even better, indulge in Finn Zierlers’ previous work. If I was asked to explain the definition of PROGRESSIVE METAL my suggestion is simple: Beyond Twilight is its’ precise synonym. A piece of art, indisputably.

P.S. 1: A demand is that the next release is a DVD…
P.S. 2: I still haven’t said enough…
