'Gabriels' was created by the Italian 'Gabriele Gabriel Crisafulli', keyboardist with a classical training who participated in the adventure 'Aldaria' and who has already released five albums since 2010 the latest being 'Hokuto Brothers', act 2 of 'Fist of the Seven Stars' which is an ambitious project in 5 acts and which, for manga lovers, is the famous saga of 'Kenshiro' which was very successful in Italy thanks to the cartoons 'Ken the warrior'. 'Nanto Chaos' is therefore the 3rd chapter of this long story and to do this, Gabriele invited a large number of singers to interpret all the roles of this saga but also an impressive number of musicians to hold the sections of guitar, keyboards, bass and drums.

From the first two titles, we have a good overview of this varied opus, with on the one hand the energetic 'Three days of life' in a melodic hard-rock style of the 80s, and on the other hand , 'The Mark' which is a beautiful ballad with a refrain which remains engraved in the head. The sequel is like this beginning, accessible at first listen and divided between catchy compositions like ‘Treason Star’ which can be reminiscent of ‘Survivor’ or like ‘Rebirth By Three Days Of Life’, plus A.O.R. with electronic tones, or even like 'Confrontation' with its melodic lines that are integrated from the first listen but also remarkable mid-tempos with 'Fight for her love' and its simple but very effective chorus or 'Secret of Phoenix' and his magnificent solos of keyboards and guitar in the second part of the title or even the powerful 'Pyramid of Dictator' which closes the album. To all these titles, we can add the two other quieter moments 'Dying for your love' and 'Deathnight', two power ballads with for the first, a melody as the Italians know so well to do and the second, more melancholy and which is without a doubt the most moving title on the album.

In summary, 'Gabriele Gabriel Crisafulli' offers us a magnificent third part of his epic saga with varied and nevertheless very accessible compositions with a beautiful distribution at the vocal level and beautiful instrumental passages of keyboards and guitar which makes from 'Nanto Chaos' an album intended for a fairly large audience loving a harmonious metal and accessible to the first listen...
