Fractured Dimension - Towards The Mysterium
Review by Elizabeth Melendez Fisher
Fractured Dimension's album "Towards The Mysterium" is a masterpiece of progressive metal. The album is a journey through complex and intricate soundscapes that are both technical and emotional. The musicianship is outstanding, with each member of the band contributing to the overall sound with their unique style and skill.
The album starts off with the epic "The Big Bang," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The track is a showcase of the band's musical prowess, with intricate time signatures and soaring guitar solos. The album continues with the haunting "The Void," which features beautiful acoustic guitar work and a mesmerizing vocal performance.
The album's centerpiece is the 20-minute-long title track "Towards The Mysterium." The track takes the listener on a journey through various moods and emotions, from the serene and contemplative to the dark and foreboding. The track features some of the most impressive musicianship on the album, with complex guitar and keyboard solos that are both technical and emotional.
