You might know Daniele Liverani best in his role as a keyboard player in many metal acts including Khymera, Genius the Rock Opera, Twin Spirits or Cosmics. But did you know he was an accomplished guitar player. I'm suspecting you did. He's been playing guitar from an early age. With his new solo album, Eleven Mysteries, Liverani picks up his axe once again.As you would suspect, Eleven Mysteries contains 11 songs where Liverani demonstrates his exceptional skills. Also, as you would likely surmise, he follows in the neo-classical guitar tradition. Expect some sizzling shredding throughout this disc, and you'll find it bunches. But it's not always that way, ripping up the fret board that is. A songs such as Supreme Gladness and All Is Pure find Liverani offering some smooth, often soothing licks, over pyrotechnics.

Power metal would not exist if it wasn’t for the beautiful touch of the keyboard and a band who definitely embraces this instrument into their line-up are the amazing Leeds based symphonic power metal band Dreamcatcher. Concentrating their sound around computer generated noises, these power metal prodigies have released one of the finest debut power metal albums, and the best bit is that they are British. Dreamcatcher are flying the flag nice and high for British heavy metal, and their astounding debut album Soul Design is a must have in any power metal fanatics collection. Let loose the high pitched vocals, release the shredding guitar lines and last but no means least…… CRANK UP THE KEYBOARDS!
For me, there are two types of great guitarists. Those I would classify in the category of technicians. Real pros of the six strings (or 12 ...) that have a technical unstoppable. And then there are very large, you know, those who flirt with genius. And Cyril is LEPIZZERA thereof. The difference? The first play masterfully, but the compositions are often displays of pure technique. Do you remember "the man who plays faster than his shadow"? The latter have the same qualities guitaristic but they put their technology for a brilliant inspiration.
The sound is powerful, clear and always emotionally charged. Like what the guitar heroes are not just demonstrations which, apart from their pedagogical virtues quite razors, if I may ... Cyril LEPIZZERA offers us an enchanting journey through the maze of his inspiration, always bright, despite a title of album that would not disgrace a CD of Death Metal ... No, the metal of the Marseille artist is pure, bright and straight as a blade.
