Vision Divine - The 25th Hour (2007) [Japanese Ed. 2015]

Posted By: Andi_Deris

The 25th Hour is Vision Divine’s third concept album in a row and it is here where their slow but steady climb in the Power Metal ranks has been halted. While never uttered in the same breath as other Italian metal greats such as Labyrinth or Secret Sphere, Vision Divine have managed to release two quality albums upon the arrival of Michele Luppi behind the mic. Stream Of Conciousness has some of the band’s best individual songs such as Colours Of My World, La Vitta Fugge, and Versions Of The Same. The follow up, The Perfect Machine, is where these guys hit their creative stride just right. That album had memorable songs, quality hooks, and a stellar performance from Michele. So what happened with The 25th Hour? The most noticeable difference is that the emphasis of the music has been shifted from Michele to… nothing. Excepting a few songs such as Voices and Perfect Suicide there are little if no hooks to be found at all. You won’t find soaring moments of clarity like on Now That You‘re Gone from The Perfect Machine nor are there any songs that have any sense of urgency whatsoever.
