The recording studio was in Inverigo near Como, and the rest of the album was recorded in Rome between October and december in The Outer Sound Studios. The recording sessions of chapter 3 was very long and hard... Giuseppe Orlando was a very good and impressive teacher for the band.... and chapter 3 was a very masterpice. During the chapter 3 recording sessions Kaledon have been rejoined by drummer David Folchitto. The third Chapter’s name is : THE WAY OF THE LIGHT. After Chapter 3 release date, the band made a lot of promotion with live dates, with gadgets, and many other ways, The band with Kick Promotion Agency of Rome made tons of interviews and received tons of reviews from all the world! Kaledon began one big reality in the heavy metal world and without vacation started to work on the next album... Chapter 4... At the beginning of the recording sessions of Chapter 4 the band broken up the recording deal with their record company SteelBorn records because they was absolutely not able to follow the band in their way... The closure of the contract foresees the transfer of the whole contract to another famous, important Italian label. With the new label we had lots of e-mail and phone calls to discuss the fact that never on earth they would have worked in a negligent way as the last label did. Their behaviour was worse than the previous one and they told us to find a new label... they never sent us a new contract, and when we had to pay the studios they disappeared. Obviously we found another company... Universal Metal Production... This new company gave to the band a support and of course the great possibility to share Kaledon's music in the United States of America!

Album:

Italy is practically mother of epic symphonic power metal in the European theater. One of its most consistent and prolific producers of the genre has been Rome's Kaledon. And you thought I was going to say, Rhapsody Of Fire. Same lake, just a different boat.Founded by lead guitarist Alex Mele, Kaledon's albums revolve around the telling of his tale of the fictional kingdom of Kaledon in the Legend of the Forgotten Reign series, in six chapters. Of late, Mele and Kaledon have been telling stories of individual characters within the Kaledon mythology. This time it's Carnagus - Emperor Of The Darkness. Though I know of the series, I don't know much of the story or individual characters. I'm guessing this Carnagus fellow, being the Emperor of Darkness, is pivotal evil bad guy in the legend. So it's probably best I speak to the music.Musically speaking, and without being dismissive, Kaledon delivers quintessential European epic and symphonic power metal. To do so, the band works all the proper genre elements together with some creativity and skill. Of course, the foundation of power metal is classic melodic heavy metal. Then Kaledon drops in the swiftness of speed to ramp up to power metal. Additionally, and essential, is twin guitar harmony in the riffage followed by epic and soaring guitar solos.The keyboard layer is notable in a Kaledon song arrangement. The synth layers add both atmosphere and color, the former in orchestration, the latter in solos. Most every song has a generous synth solo to compliment the guitar solos. As for the vocal arrangements, new vocalist Michele Guaitoli (Overtures, ex-Future is Tomorrow) sings clean, melodic, and strong. Often, to compliment both his vocals and the symphonic layer, the larger vocal arrangements are choral in nature.Fundamentally, these elements blend to create the perfect storm of epic and melodic, symphonic and melodic, power metal. It's what Kaledon does best and, if you love the genre, you will not be disappointed with Carnagus - Emperor Of The Darkness. The only disappointment I found was the use of dirty vocals within Telepathic Messages. But, if Carnagus is the creepy evil dude I expect him to be, then certainly if he's sending telepathic messages, they might sound like a growling devil in one's mind. Nevertheless, as I said earlier, if you like the description of Kaledon's epic power metal, you will like this album. Fans of the band will dig it first, and newcomers will be satisfied as well. Recommended.
