a long single - 90%

This is the last work of this incredible composer.
The King of Symphonic Italian metal has written a new high value chapter in his story!
The CD doesn' t want to be a simple EP but a long single, and contains some tracks from the next imminent album "Prophet of the Last Eclipse".
No intro, it opens with the title track "DemonHeart", a true fast thunder in the quiet of an autumnal day.
A great song that gives life to the EP.
The second one is "Prophet of the Last Eclipse (edit version)".... it starts symphonic and drives the listener to a splendid riff with synthetizers doing a great work. The splendid bridge and chorus are two of the thousands weapons of the work!
"Rondeau in C Minor" is a little intro played by synthetizer that someone will not appreciate, I like it!
Then strongly and fastly comes "Black Realms Majesty" ...I can' t believe it ... it's again a splendid song, great bridge and a great great chorus once again ; Each new song on this EP is a little masterpiece!
It follows the known "Kings of the Nordic Twilight (edit version)", one of the best songs of the first album, but here it figures in a shorter version!
What words can describe the last song? a supreme version of one of the most classic Helloween pieces: "I' m Alive".
Olaf Hayer gives us one of his best performances, I like this version more than the Kiske version (if it can be possible)!
What I have to say? The CD shows the magic evolution of this magic composer, that in a handful of years created a new path of symphonic metal, first with his Rhapsody and then with a great solo project.
I REALLY LOVE THIS INCREDIBLE MAN!!!!!!
You have not to think that Synthetizers are not good to play in metal songs: all tracks of this album are fantastic and Synthetizers made a very good work to impress an unique mark to the new Turilli' s Symphonic Cosmic Metal!
