Vitruvius: Vitruvius

Vitruvius, is a new prog/metal band from Mexico. Dulce Robles is the fantastic female presence on vocals that provides the key sound and signature for the band. Oscar Villarreal, plays guitars, bass, keyboards, and backing vocals; Ronnie Rodriguez, plays drums; and Armando Thamez plays bass. The album kicks off fast with a powerful drum and guitar blitz which rocks this one forward early. The over 7 minute 'Stealing A Tear from the Rain' is easily one of the better tracks on the album. It is full of powerful chords and Robles's beautiful vocals. The keyboards bring back memories of early Dream Theater and are an excellent addition to this track. 'Inner Space' is another Dream Theater like experience, only this time Robles gives us the female perspective for a wonderful change. The excellent piano work fills in spaces throughout the album well, providing fantastic emotion as it rolls with Robles' vocal twists and turns like magic. 'Black Sphere – Parts I & II' are the perfect way to cap off an excellent debut. The opening keyboard and piano work is worth the price of admission alone. However, on Part II, you get some of Robles' best vocals set to those perfect key rhythms on top of the keys from Part I.

This is another excellent new band that I will be following after this awesome debut. Not a bad song on the album with excellent instrumentation and Robles voice. This has a very Dream Theater feel to it, but that is a compliment, because it is very original in sound, with Robles leading the way. Fans of DT's old sound will appreciate how they captured the feel of that earlier time, while remaining true to themselves with an original sound of their own.
