The former draws down on the heaviness at the start without dismissing the fervor, allowing the lead guitar to crank it up in the end. The latter, is nearly in stark contrast to the rest of the album with voice and acoustic guitar leading to a gentle crescendo and, as you would guess, another terrific Sfogli solo.

Which leads me to say that Metaphysical and the band is overshadowed by Sfogli's guitar work; essantially, he's putting on a clinic for aspiring guitarists, for all of us for that matter. Alongside this, the other dominant element is DiMeo's vocals which never seem to waver from a passionate, even soulful, delivery. Put this together with the heaviness of the album, there's an overarching weight, almost melancholy moodiness to it not unlike an Evergrey album.

In a way, the material of all [our old] releases is interchangeable as we burnt out up to the last drop of energy that could be extracted from that static viewpoint… Traditionalism is a valid aspect, but when no alternative to traditionalism is open anymore it is called stagnation, and stagnation equals artistic death.

The label head begins the interview with one word: bereshith , Hebrew for Genesis. The interviewee replies with fas , Latin for divine law, command, fate or destiny, which conspicuously happens to be the first word in the title of the second album in the trilogy. All mess, all riot of color, all protoplasmic urgency, all movement — is chaos. From St. Similarly the poet empties out the poetic afflatus of the precursor.

Both definitions, Christian and poetical, apply all too well. Chaining the Katechon , their second in-between-trilogy EP, refers to New Testament Pauline theology of the one the Katechon who prevents the rise of the Antichrist. Chaining the Katechon, then, amounts to restraining he who restrains the Antichrist, so that He can be set free.

To choose evil is to choose freedom. What evil in essence rejects is a concern with the time to come.
