Luca Turilli - "Prophet of the Last Eclipse" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Luca Turilli - Prophet of the Last Eclipse
	Location	Italy via Germany, I think.
	Initial Impression	"This looks like European death metal to me!" upon viewing the sci-fi artwork on the album sleeve.
Notable Lyric	"Warriors of the New Century now rise Hear the sad voice of starless nights Warriors of the New Century now ride Cross the cosmic shores of mortal time." - "New Century's Tarantella"
Factoid	Guitarist and composer (and member of Rhapsody) Luca Turilli dreams of someday being a soundtrack composer. Prophet of the Last Eclipse is the second in a "Virtual Odyssey Trilogy" styled as "Symphonic Cosmic Metal."
Serve With	A touring symphony with a Circe du Soleil-type visual arts accompaniment.
Comments	Epic, indeed. This album is like an aural comic book. At first listen, I was drawn in by the hyper-speed guitar arpeggia and gothic choruses. Upon finding the lyrics, however, I was entranced by the story being told. A tale of good and evil, and the tragic love story that unfolds between it, inspired by the movie "Event Horizon." Not really one for concept albums, the speed-metal drums, spaced-out keyboards, and choirs are enough to capture your attention, even if the storyline doesn't.
