  Sicily!

The first Vision Divine concert after the new album “Destination Set To Nowhere” is in Sicily!!!

The location is Barbara Disco Lab at Catania, a very awesome club …ideal for an event like this. Sicilian metal fans are eager to be part of this great event, and the wait pays off. Not only Vision Divine will play but also Dalia Nera and Metatrone as  openers. The atmosphere is great, metal fans are very polite, and Vision Divine are very kind and available to take a lot  of photos before their exhibition.

The concert starts with Dalia Nera`s performance…A sort of alternative modern metal influenced by grunge but also classic style; The show doesn’t disappoint the expectation but it seems that people seems to wait the next band, one of the most known Sicilian band!!!

Metatrone are the symbol of Christian metal in Italy!!! They come from Catania and the characteristic of the band is their lyrics dedicated to God. The keyboard player is a priest and it sounds incredible how he sings growl parts!!!A very stunning band with powerful and melodic songs in which the vocalist Jo Lombardo has nothing to envy to Andre Matos or Michael Kiske!!!

The Italian lyrics makes people involved into this show…and under the stage there’s a real acclamation for this band!!! A song like ”Passione” could represent a pure metal icon; it mixes Crematory  & Stratovarious with  Dream Theater influences…is it for real!?Yes…For sure!!! I have really appreciated songs like “Padre” , “Uomo”, “Cuore di donna” in which you can remind of the best Stratovariuos, but in general all the songs are very cool and the band represents the pure representation anti black metal, when they were playing …a very wave of Christianity was in the air . A very big surprise for me to know them!!!FOR ME, They’re the real surprise of this event!!!


15 minutes and the curtain is dropped ..the wait is not too long, Vision Divine are just there!!!
It’s a very involving show in which Fabio Lione gets immediately in tune with all fans!!!
The new songs are the protagonist of the songs list but not only…old success are also played in a very amazing way…and people are amazed when they play also “Wasted Years ”Iron maiden cover at the end of their exhibition! When the show ends …people remains to get still photos, buying gadgets, and talking with the bands…

A very nice and pleasant night ,  thanks to Gianni and NBTV who made this night  possible….long life to power metal…and I cant’but underline the great answer of  Catania to metal!!!!
