Jesus. Jesus Christ, my brothers. I just got Luca Turilli's new "Prophet of the Last Eclipse" and was absolutely blown away. How can one man kick this much ass? He may not have the guitar wizardry of MJR or Yngwie, but he is by far the best composer of the lot and far surpasses the others in passion put into his music. He does probably write the lamest, tritest lyrics and "stories" ever, but his music more than makes up for this. The epic element is laid thick over the technical brilliance of his music, and every note is perfectly placed. The singer is not quite as good as Fabio Lione, yet serves well. Without Alex Staropoli, the music has a less symphonic feel and seems like a midpoint between Rhapsody and Ayreon. In fact, the lyrical content and musical feel is such that it is easily enjoyed by fans of Ayreon without being a clone the group. Luca has moved in a new direction with this great new undertaking, and everyone should buy this album immediately. Luca Turilli has produced one of the masterpieces of metal, and this album will dazzle everyone with its genius. Buy it and support metal at its best!
