Bio:
4TH DIMENSION was founded in 2005 by singer Andrea Bicego and keyboard player Talete Fusaro. Since the beginning the band focused on a specific style, symphonic power metal, following the steps of metal gods such as Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody of Fire & more. During the first year the current line-up was built, comprising also drummer Massimiliano Forte, guitarist Michele Segafredo and bass player Stefano Pinaroli.In 2008 4TH DIMENSION started writing original songs, the first of which, “THE SUN IN MY LIFE” was recorded in early 2009 and appeared on a compilation called “TOTAL INVASION vol. 3”, (which was distributed with a run of 20.000 copies in Italy and Germany during summer festivals such as GODS OF METAL & WACKEN OPEN AIR).The songwriting process was completed at the end of 2009 and, soon after, ALESSIO LUCATTI (keyboard player of italian metal heroes Vision Divine) took an interest in 4TH DIMENSION's sound, consequently deciding to produce the band's debut album, which was finally recorded between may/august 2010 in Pisa. The album was also engineered and mixed by Alessio Lucatti and mastered by Luigi Stefanini at New Sin Studio (Labyrinth, Vision Divine, White Skull and more) in Treviso. It also features FABIO LIONE (Rhapsody of Fire's impressive lead singer) as a very special guest.In early 2011 4TH DIMENSION signed for italian label CRASH & BURN RECORDS, which is about to release the band's album, “THE WHITE PATH TO REBIRTH”.February 24th, 2011 is going to mark the beginning of new fantastic experience for the band, with 4TH DIMENSION supporting SONATA ARCTICA and LABYRINTH in 11 dates of the forthcoming European Tour... Welcome to the Fourth Dimension...
Album:
With the upcoming release for "Dispelling The Veil Of Illusions" set for March 21, this is the album number two and another very significant step forward to reach success, for this Italian Metal group, three years after their extremely well rated debut album titled "The White Path to Rebirth".This time the songwriting was updated with more sophisticated arrangements and a stronger focus on the melodies than before, the album is shorter and quite efficient with some new overtones ranging from AMARANTHE because of its fresh electronic sound, heavily dominated by the keyboards to AVANTASIA’s radio friendly epic Method (“Kingdom Of Thyne”) or displaying a new, heavier than ever, galloping groove (“White Logic”) .As usual the great Power Prog offers something ultra-catchy with obvious professionalism, even if the young German label is specialized in, well, Melodic Metal with a strong emphasis on the innovative Music side of the Progressive style, this time “Dispelling The Veil Of Illusions” is clearly less ambitious, set toward a more typical happy Power Metal mode, in the same category of those legendary albums released by the giants of the genre in the early 90’s.Indeed the style is clearly influenced by HELLOWEEN / GAMMA RAY/early FREEDOM CALL (“Quantum Leap”) and co, those clearly tagged elements are well known and very orthodox : the fast double kick pace (“The Watchtower”) / Symphonic & Bombastic Arrangements (“A Circle In The Ice”) / Powerful Melodic Chorus with intense swirling Pop 80’s Keys (”Dissonant Hearts”) with Sci-Fi/Fantastic thematic (“Extraworld”), enhanced by an honest lead vocalist performance (“Memoirs of the Abyss”) and a fine mixing under a dynamic production crafted by Audio Engineer Tancredi Barbuscia & 4th DIMENSION, "Dispelling The Veil Of Illusions" was recorded at Greenriver Studio in Varese, north of Italy.Some modern electronic tricks were used here and there, but nothing really original or impressive nor outstanding, still it stands as the perfect contemporary palliative for the nostalgic of the finest hour of ANGRA / STRATOVARIUS and SONATA ARCTICA.
