Album: Paraíso (2013)
Genre: Prog Rock (Crossover/Metal/Neo Prog) / Germany
"Ratio meets emotion". Those three words describe the new album of Subsignal in a good way. After the really good album "Touchstones" the band managed with "Paraiso" to meet the high expectations. I personally think, that "Paraiso" is even better than "Touchstone" since it varies a bit more. This has also to do with the fact, that the songs are more in focus. The melodies are a little bit more catchy (meant in a positive way) which makes it easy to listen to the album. But by all this it is still very obvious that excellent rock musicians are at work. They know how to write great prog-rock songs which never get banal. It makes just fun to listen to the album. But "Paraiso" needs attention. Take the time to listen to it, since the band also took time to write the songs. You will discover new details with each round. When I was listening to the record I was often reminded to Saga, Yes and partly Dream Theater. After an intro called "Time and again" the title track starts with a pretty strong riff. In more than 4 minutes the song describes the journey to you own paradise. I like esp. the chorus of the song. "A new reliance" has some Saga elements and surprises in the verse with a kind of reggae rhythm. Another song which is also to mention is "The blueprint of a winter". This a ballad with a great melody. Probabaly the most commercial song on "Paraiso". The song is actually a duett between Arno Menses and Marcella Bovio. The one or the other of you know Marcella maybe already from Stream Of Passion. Both voices fit perfectly together and they give the song a lot of atmosphere. "The colossus that bestrode the world" follows and brings back 'rock' into the album. "Swimming home" rounds off a really good third record from Subsignal. Congratulations to the band for the album. A good third release of Subsignal. Give it a try - you will like/love it. Review by "Markus Heavy Music Blog" (http://mwiemetalblog.over-blog.com).
