Symphony Of The Universe (Bonus Track)

Never change a winning team. Never change a winning formula. Cristiano Filippini's FLAMES OF HEAVEN strengthens it's position among the leading acts of Power Melodic Metal - five years after releasing the critically acclaimed debut album 'The Force Within'.Thanks to catchy melodies and brilliant musicianship 'Symphony of the Universe' is the utmost logical follow-up. Spectacularly crafted anthems breathing the spirits of an ideally open production with natural sounds. Real classical instruments such as violin, viola, cello, double bass and grand piano are also used.A cultural bridging between Italy and Japan - the manga "Saint Seiya" by Masami Kurumada - delivered the lyrical inspiration for seven of the thirteen songs.Sublime vocalist Marco Pastorino (Temperance, Wonders) became the first cornerstone of the line-up, followed by guitar virtuoso Michele Vioni (Vivaldi Metal Project). Shimmering highlights among the twelve songs are 'Darkside of Gemini', 'On the Wings of Phoenix', 'Midnight Riders', and 'The Power of Stars'.
