Italy has not been as important a player in metal as the Scandinavian countries (at least as of late 2007), but that said, Italy has made some noteworthy metal contributions in the '90s and 21st century -- and those contributions have ranged from goth metal (most notably, Milan's Lacuna Coil) to progressive metal (Luca Turilli and Rhapsody, for example). Pathosray have been part of Italy's prog metal scene since 2000, although this self-titled 2007 release is the band's first full-length album. Like other prog metal bands, Pathosray favor a hard-rocking yet melodic and intricate approach that combines power metal with progressive rock; the influences on this 52-minute CD range from Iron Maiden, Ronnie James Dio, Dream Theater, and Yngwie Malmsteen to Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Rush (the vocals are much closer to Bruce Dickinson than Geddy Lee, but melodically and harmonically, the Rush influence is certainly there). This album is firmly, stubbornly planted in a pre-'90s, pre-Nevermind aesthetic; from the shiny, glossy guitar solos to the keyboards (which clearly say '70s and '80s rather than '90s or 2000s) to the fantasy-based lyrics, Pathosray are caught in a stylistic time warp and make no apology for it. Some will say that tracks like "The Sad Game," "Scent of Snow," "Faded Crystals," and "Emerald City" sound dated, but dated isn't necessarily a bad thing; Pathosray, in fact, wear it like a badge of honor, and their '70s and '80s worship is never the least bit ironic on this generally decent, if less than distinctive, contribution to prog metal. ~ Alex Henderson

Sensory Records is extremely pleased to announce the signing of Italian progressive metal band Pathosray. Italy has been the source of many great progressive metal bands over the past decade ' from the bombast of Rhapsody to the technical precision of Raintime and Solid Vision. The music of Pathosray made an immediate impact on us ' the music draws from many influences blending melody, heaviness, and technical virtuosity. Vocals are always a key ingredient and with the stunning range of Marco Sandron the world will instantly recognize what we did ' Pathosray is a musical force to be reckoned with.

Paradise Lost

Symphony X Paradise Lost CD  (2007)

Pathosray album
CD $15.05  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
First Edition North America Pressings Will Be Sold As A Special Digipak Design. Once These Are Sold Out, They Will Be Replaced With The Standard European Jewel Box Version. New Jersey prog-metal stalwarts Symphony X return with PARADISE LOST, their first outing since 2002's THE ODYSSEY. Their literary aspirations remain intact--the album is inspired by the John Milton epic poem of the same name--and per usual, Michael Romeo's Byzantine tablature and Russell Allen's vocals are the main attractions. Throughout PARADISE LOST the band fantasizes that all '80s thrash and '90s doom metal did not happen, and that they are picking up right where Randy Rhodes and Yngwie Malmsteem left off in the early 1980s. In their vision, technical dexterity and neo-classicism--note the inclusion of a string ...

Threshold Dead Reckoning CD  (2007)

Pathosray CD music
CD $10.29  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Long-running British prog metal outfit Threshold return with their eighth album, providing yet more of what fans expect, along with a few minor changeups such as the unexpectedly funky beat propelling the early standout "Disappear" and the techno synths underpinning "Hollow." Singer Andrew McDermott has a clean, almost old-fashioned voice with perfect diction not only on the power ballad centerpiece "Pilot in the Sky of Dreams" but on those tracks that would normally require a rougher sound. Posh vocals or not, Dead Reckoning is of that aggressively tasteful school of metal that never breaks into full-on showboating excess or noisy violence. It's metal for people who wish Marillion had occasionally gone into Dio territory, or that Talk Talk and Queensr˙che had collaborated. Those outside that target demographic ...

Indestructible Spirit
Johnny Blas Indestructible Spirit CD  (2007)

Pathosray music CDs
CD $13.45  2 stars Audio Samples
At long last, Latin jazzman Johnny Blas is back with a new recording, his first in the 21st century. It has been eight years since King Conga, almost a decade since Mambo 2000, and almost 11 since his debut for Cubop in 1997 with Skin & Bones. Those records, with their quartet of trombones (one of them played by Dan Weinstein, who was the band's musical director), electric guitars, violins, claves, and flute along with Blas' killer congas and other percussion, set some new standards for Latin jazz in the 21st century. That said, all three of those recordings were of a piece, in a sense. They were all solid (actually, Mambo 2000 was simply killer), innovative, and using earlier forms while simultaneously reinventing the wheel. Indestructible Spirit is a complete shift from his previous catalog. Blas has not only taken the reins in his new group, he is, along with bassist Jeff Hawley, co-producer. There are nine tunes here, all but two of them written by Blas. For starters, four trombones have become two -- Steve Johnson and Leonard Luna -- and sometimes even one. Weinstein is absent (though he is represented by one of his tunes). Pianist Ryan Prior is now a core part of the band's sound -- and he plays a Rhodes as often as an acoustic piano. Blas has also picked up the saxophone (a soprano) again for the first time in a decade, and plays it on two cuts. Ray Zepeda plays soprano on one and tenorist Paul Clark appears on another. Of course, Blas' conga is everywhere, and timbales and coro are almost as ubiquitous as well. In addition to bass, Hawley plays cuatro and coro, and even does some drum programming on a couple of cuts. Sound like a mess? Hardly. Indestructible Spirit is a reinvention to be sure, but first and foremost it's a Latin jazz record cut for the 21st century. The record swings hard in places, is funky throughout, and never stops grooving whether on an uptempo mambo or a jazz ballad with layers of percussion. While the opener, "Oaklands Mambo," is pure trademark Blas -- with trombones in the front line with his congas and timbales moving around them and the drum kit -- the popping, loping bassline by Hawley and Prior's piano are something else. The music digs into the heart of jazz, pointillistically exploring the beat, playing counterpoint to the congas and the drum kit. It's a killer track that makes sense as a 12" single, and is a great candidate for remixers. "Puerto Rico Rico" is where the Rhodes makes its first appearance, alongside the cuatro and coro. It's a mellow, grooving, soulful cha-cha, but the Rhodes and bassline move it somewhere else. The comping that Prior does, with both hands, illuminates the rhythms and even serves as their anchor when Hawley plays his solo on the cuatro, which moves across single-line playing by everyone from Pat Martino to the blues before Prior lets the Rhodes shine in his own solo. "Lubi" is another burner. It's a salsa jam opened by the dual trombones before Hawley's bass brings it right down to the funk. This is tough yet futuristic Nuyorican salsa that sizzles and thunders with its odd meter and Afro-Cuban leanings. Luna's trombone solo kicks it, wailing away into the stratosphere. So far so good, right? Photographer: Walter Richards, Sr. Arrangers: Johnny Blas; Salvador Vasquez. Then the big shock: the nine-minute smooth Latin-tinged jazz ballad "Barry Rogers," written by Weinstein. With Zepeda's soprano playing the chief melodic element, Blas spends much of the track just keeping time. If you expected another firestorm after "Lubi," this will be as shock to your system. But what a mellow toaster! It begins slowly and then begins to simmer at about three minutes in, with Zepeda just tearing it up on the soprano. Prior's Rhodes is the perfect complement here, ...

Recorded in Houston in 2006, this reunion of the great gospel vocal group the Clark Sisters after a 12-year hiatus gathers many of their best-known, yet sadly out-of-print songs, including their career-making 1981 hit, the swinging "You Brought the Sunshine," as well as the swaying, fervent "Blessed and Highly Favored" and the joyous "Livin'." The sisters' remarkable, technically adept yet emotionally touching harmonies have lost none of their power over the years, and songs like "Tried Him and ...
