A long-running Italian band known for shifting lineups and the 2001 album 'Return to Heaven Denied.'
If you're new to Labyrinth, start with 'Return to Heaven Denied' and a track like 'A Reason To Survive.' That gives you their melodic power metal at its most focused.
Labyrinth matters because they've stuck to a melodic power metal sound through decades of lineup changes, with songs like 'A Reason To Survive' holding onto that core. Their 2001 album 'Return to Heaven Denied' is still the one fans point to as a high point, even as they kept putting out records like 'Architecture of a God' in 2017. They're a band that shows how a style can persist even when the players behind it keep shifting.
They formed in Turin in 1991 and released their debut 'Midnight's Legacy' in 1995. The lineup has changed often over the years, with musicians like Roberto Tiranti and Olaf Thorsen coming through, and their sound has been uneven across albums. They've kept releasing music, from 'Return to Heaven Denied' in 2001 to 'Genesis' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
