Just close your eyes and enjoy. 'Nightwalker' is the right door to enter this musical world. Then, 'Cold Wind' begins and melodies are spreading into your head as the music is going on and on. 'Scarlet Flower Fields' and 'Healing Tree' make a perfect duo of "false ballads" - in Vanden Plas own particular style - and these two songs are the best way to go through the reading of 'Beyond Daylight' story. Here comes 'End Of All Hopes' and its wonderful beginning [how can they compose such parts?]. As you fall into the light of beauty, the speed darkness of 'Free The Fire' is shaking your head, just before the song called 'Can You Hear Me', which has become one of my favorite ballads ever, carries you towards heaven. But the better part of the album is still to come! 'Phoenix' is the most powerful track and the most technical too, and as a finisher comes 'Beyond Daylight' that obliges you to listen to the album until the last second.
And when you open your eyes, the only thing you want to do is listen to 'Beyond Daylight' again.

Bringing you reviews of quality music and interesting questions such as:"A picture is worth a thousand words. How many words is a song worth?"
I have only got so much patience and skills, you do the math.

This is their best album right now with Christ 0 a close second. They are both incredible. None of the others really come close though. Can't wait for their new album!

Nightwalker is amazing. The music is so great, especially the riffs. Cold wind is heavy and relaxing at the same time, Vanden Plas are good...
