Description/Reviews: 

This long - awaited CD is a follow-up to Ptah, the first work by Phaedra. Most of the tracks have been recorded in the Nineties by the classic Phaedraline up. There are lots of differences between Ptah and Beyond the Storm: the lyrics, written and sung by Bonvecchio, are in English. Every song tells a single story unlike the previous concept album Ptah. BTS has more of a refined classic prog approach with Yes and Genesis influences. Going into details, the album features the title track which was the very first song composed by the band, the suite Phaedra  regularly performed since 1995 but never officially released until now.
