VINIDE is a Symphonic Metal band that formed back in 2003. These musicians are talented. Every one of them. It begins with an "Intro", which to most just-Metal albums is unusual , but not in Symphonic Metal. It is quite a lovely sound. "The Beginning Scene" is the very first track off of this album. It is heavy and melodic. It will make one head bang anytime one hears it. It begins as any Hard Rock/Metal song and speeds up throughout with interludes of softness and one fantastic guitar solo in the middle. An operatic voice will make one fall in love with Symphony Metal and want more.
The title track "Reveal" is the fourth track. "Reveal" begins darkly yet beautifully. The voice is hauntingly beautiful along with guitar. The song is slower than the first few songs, but it works well. The melody is wonderful. It is one of the most lovely songs on the album. "The Truth" stands out in the spoken word beginning. This is what it is all about. A show in a song that makes one want more and more. This is not a typical Metal song, it is something truly special. Great work.
The thirteenth track from this fifteen-track album is "Another Dimension". One will be transported to a state of oblivion because this song is that good. A melody that is catchy and it all works well together. This is what I imagine is playing inside the Tardis when Dr. Who is traveling through time. A good song. "Save The Earth" ends the album impressively. A very space like beginning that goes into beautiful music and instrument playing. This album is entirely beautiful. For those who have never given Symphonic Metal a chance, then begin with this one. This is truly a wonderful symphony in a Metal way.
