Album Notes & Community Reviews
Despite their remarkably young age鈥攖he members were still teenagers鈥攖he Italian trio debuted with this incredibly ambitious, fully realized symphonic rock opera based entirely on the Gospel of Matthew. Supported by lush orchestral arrangements and full choral passages, the complex keyboard structures bridge classical composition with melodic progressive rock. It is a highly revered, deeply religious masterwork of the RPI movement.
