Description/Reviews: 

Both albums, Human -The Tales, and Human -The Facts are complex and elaborated albums, based on profound and far reaching concepts, almost like a rebel and nonconformist response to mp3 disposable music that in these days rains over us, and I have to say, both albums are so solid that when you listen them from beginning to end the similarity with an audiobook, rare and innovative, is more than imminent.

Human – The Tales is, to its fullest extent, the worthy continuation to what has been already shown in Abscence. A faithful, glorious progressive sound doesn’t seem to be enough since between lines we can also read the many and varied influences of the instrumentalists, ranging from the always obvious Dream Theater, to Cosmosquad, Tribal Tech, Rush, Black Sabbath, Tool and Pink Floyd. Progressive rock with a continuous metal edge, surrounded by an aura of classical music and a “latino” scent, evanescent but noticeable. The album is so solid that I would not comment on any particular song, 70’s prog rock influences are immediately visible, but the music is impregnated with a very modern and contemporary sound, with that smell of newness that can hook you in two seconds but it takes hours to fully understand. The virtuosity of each musician is undeniable, but the music is not structured according to it, but rather dominated by melodies and arrangements that emerge immediately from the artist’s soul; dark riffs, guitar and keyboard solos are still hot because they’ve been ripped out straight from the musicians’ hearts.
