Time machine the well knows band of Prog Metal from Italy is back with their new album "Reviviscence - Liber Secundus". After the really good "Evil - Liber Primus", the band then come again with this new album of pure Progressive Metal, that for sure all the fans of this style of music will appreciate.


"Reviviscence" is the second part of a trilogy started by the album, "Evil - Liber Primus". It's the real following of the story but the first thing that the fans of the band will find is again [it's an habit with Time Machine] a new changing of line-up. In fact, on this album we have a new guitarist Gianluca Galli and especially a new singer Marco Sivo.
The good thing with this album come from the fact that for sure its true Prog metal with a lot of technical and very complex musical structure [like for a good old Prog band] but the songs are however catchy and it's not boring to listen this album. A lot of time and I think that even some true Prog fans will agree with me, this music can be a bit too much "intellectual" and the very hard of access. Well with Time Machine we don't have this feeling because the work on that album is well done and at the end a lot of songs of the albums are catchy. It's a good point no doubt on it.
Good riffs, very technical guitars solo, and a lot of keyboards are the ingredients of this album and believe me that you'll see how we do music, because the guys of the band have all a really high musical level and this is a real pleasure to listen a cd when we have with such level.
With very good musicians and a new singer who is not too bad, Time Machine is more than convincing with that album, and for sure the fans of the band and the will be happy to listen this new one.
In addition I must say that we have great guest musicians on that album, like the two guitarists of Angra and it's of course a real great addition for the band and their album.

The production of this album is not too bad too, the booklet and the cover are really well done and the artwork are more than correct, and the sound even if is not the better that can have, it's more than correct and at the end this album don't suffer of bad production means.


With the 2nd album of their Progressive trilogy, "Reviviscence", Time Machine show again that they are masters of the style. This album must be know by a lot of people, and if of course you like Prog Metal, I'm sure that you'll really like this one.
A good album of Progressive metal, if you like this kind of music, believe me that "Reviviscence" is nothing more than a must have.
