review by
Salvo "Lovedeath" Russo____ 
A good example of Power-Progressive Metal
Interesting
proposal
from Mkm that presents us a valid band that comes out with their first
full-length after a demo that dates back 2007.
I must underline that the poor production doesn’t give value to songs
like these that are a good example of power-progressive metal with elements of bands
like Labyrinth , Stratovarius and Vision Divine…
Lorenzo
Ticci is able to sing in a great way and reminds also to 80’s metal
singers in many parts…
The band mixes technique and good melodic approach ; bands like this
simply need to have a better production…
Even
if the originality is far from this cd…I say that this band is able to
release songs like the
instrumental “Heaven’s war” in which the keyboard gives impact to
the atmosphere characterized by amazing prog approach in which Massimo
Castri & C. shows his ability.
Prog rock and a strange alternative rock approach is in the next one
“Surfing time” in which the mediocre production doesn’t
propose the proper importance to the song…
“Heroes”
seems a Stratovarius song in which the prog-metal approach can’t but
remind of the best classic of this kind of music.
It’s true that the band plays well but in this album thought there are
valid tracks …there aren’t “killers track” and for this reason I
can mention the valid “The choice” in which the rhythmic session, and
in particular the drummer Alessandro, shows a great ability and a good
creativity…
The
album is closed by the sufficient “Ancient way” that I can image to
be played into a live show…great!!! The prog symphonic approach is
great not only concerning technique but alsoconcerning the progressive attitude.
In my opinion in this album there are not great refrains, I hope that this
aspect will be improved in the future as well as the production…for the
moment I say that this album will not disappoint you.
7/10
