One of the most beautiful albums in heavy metal history. After a great power meta debut (''Graceful inheritance''-1986) Heir Apparent changed their style towards progressive metal and welcomed a new singer in their ranks, Steve Benito. Now this is a divine singer. His performance alone makes this album a masterpiece. The songs are ideal to showcase his talent. Very few album can compete with ''One small voice'' in terms of songwriting genius and lyricism. A perfect combination of both great songs and ''straight from the heart'' performances. The band breathes it's very soul into this album. Along with Dream Theater's ''When day and dream unite'', Fates Warning's ''Perfect symmetry'', Queensryche's ''Operation mindcrime'', ''One small voice'' is the best example of power metal turning into something more complicated and demanding, yet equally passionate and powerful. Miracles though don't last long, so the band split after the album due to extremely bad relations between bandmembers. Mastermind Terry Gorle revived the band with new members on several occasions and finally released a third Heir Apparent studio album in 2018, ''The view from below'', a really good album, not on par with the masterpieces of the 80's but actually worth checking out.
ENJOY!!!
