Search - Labyrinth :: 6 Days to Nowhere

Decent, but not great.

"I have been a Labyrinth fan since No Limits. This album is good but is way to far from other releases like Return to Heaven Denied and Sons of Thunder. It sound similar to Freeman but here the music sounds weak ,almost timid. Roberto Tiranti's vocals are always good but they are the only trully good part of the recording.I honestly hope Labyrinth's next release will be better."

"In many ways this album is typical Labyrinth with dynamic arrangements, excellent band interplay, and yet another solid lead vocal performance from Roberto Tiranti. Having skipped Labyrinth's last album "Freeman" altogether because of poor reviews due in large part to the sub-par production value, I was delighted when sampling the music on "6 Days to Nowhere" to hear crystal clear sound. The production is as good as on their wholly inspired self-titled release. The first three songs blast forth with forceful grace but thereafter not all the music demands your attention, as I felt it did on their self-titled album. There is even yet another cover version of the Beatles' "Come Together" to be found here, as well, which is only slightly interesting and almost superflous when considering how many songs are on this release as it is. However, there are many shining moments that will have me returning for more. The songwriting often sparkles with inspiration, though its brilliance is rarely blinding, and it continues to become more relevant with repeat visists. This is certainly a good album, well above average due to the intelligent arrangements and sheer talent of the musicians, but it simply cannot sustain a masterpiece level of excellence throughout. Newcomers should begin with their self-titled release or "Return to Heaven Denied", their heralded and most successful album, as a first purchase. Running time:(57:13)

"This Italian Power Metal band had been one of my faves ever since the godly Return To Heaven Denied in '98. Despite their founding guitarist Olaf Thorsen leaving to concentrate on Vision Divine, then adding a new guitarist, and then their bass player leaving the fold...they soldier on! Over the years, becoming more and more of a progressive band with each successive release, they never did abandon their "core" power metal sound. This is one interesting listen here, you may find it a little challenging and "choppy" at first. The rewards are plentiful, Roberto's sincere heartfelt vocals, the lush melodies and arrangements, and wonderful instrumentation throughout should leave any lover of "true" music spellbound. I could go on and on, but just check it out, your ears and your heart will truly appreciate it! Fave song is What???

STAY METAL!!!"
