VISION DIVINE
2000 Atrheia Records
Vision Divine is an Italian Power Metal band that is comprised of members of other Italian Metal bands, most notably vocalist Fabio Lione of Rhapsody and guitarist Olaf Thorsen and drummer Mat Stancioui of Labyrinth. VD is basically a side-project for these musicians and this is one of those times where the side-project is better than the main project. I'm a huge fan of Rhapsody and Labyrinth, two of the best Italian Metal bands ever, but I think this self-titled debut is the best work of all the musicians involved.

The songs are amazingly focused, heavy and melodic! The music is intricate, progressive, passionate and fast. Fabio Lione, Italy's vocal powerhouse, puts in a career-best (so far) performance, and yes, that includes Labyrinth's NO LIMITS. His lyrics are passionate and powerful. Mat Stancioui also puts in a career-best performance in my opinion.VD even do a killer cover of Europe's "The Final Countdown." This album is definitely worth your time if you are looking for something more sophisticated and challenging to listen to.
