Music: Progressive Death Metal
Website: www.insidecrew.it
Duration: 37:45 minutes (8 tracks)
Country: Italy

This is my second meeting from INSIDE. The first time was with material “I can't Scream” and I remembered very good the first meeting. At that time the band made me huge impression, so when Italian promotive agency Delirio Concerti sent me newest release of INSIDE then I waited for really excellent music…

The beginning of the newest album introduces listener in melancholy and also dark as well as mysterious mood by dark gentle keyboard's intro… Suitably well-chosen parties of keyboards sometimes imitating the symphonic orchestra and the chorus with sinister waft of wind create a music like from soundtrack, which suddenly pull in us inside phrases of symphonic-progressive metal…

And it started!!! I waited for this music – that is sharp, dynamic progressive-death metal playing with lots of heavy and melodious winding arrangements, full of difficult musical themes and masterly parties of solos (on all instruments) as well as varied and unexpected changes of pace.

The vocal parties of “Impaled Your Soul” belong to Ago (previously sharp screams belonged to a woman) an this caused that this time the screams are more typical. The music of INSIDE pushed me associations with CHILDREN OF BODOM or DEATH here and there, although the arrangements of INSIDE follow in more progressive direction.
