Cristiano Filippini's FLAMES OF HEAVEN - Symphony Of The Universe CD 2025

Never change a winning team. Never change a winning formula. Cristiano Filippini’s FLAMES OF HEAVEN strengthens its position among the leading acts of Power Melodic Metal - five years after releasing the critically acclaimed „The Force Within“. Thanks to catchy melodies and brilliant musicianship „Symphony of the Universe“ is the utmost logical follow-up. Spectaculary crafted neoclassical anthems breathing the spirits of an ideally open production with natural sounds. The manga “Saint Seiya” by Masami Kurumada delivered the lyrical inspiration. Shimmering highlights among the twelve songs are „Darkside of Gemini“, „On the Wings of Phoenix“, Midnight Riders“, and „The Power of Stars“.
