style

After the previous albums Labyrinth and Freeman , the stylistic consistency can be heard on 6 Days to Nowhere. With a lot of breaks , blastbeats and occasional growls , they moved away from the former Power Metal and offered experimental Metal, which is reflected in songs such as Lost , Just One Day , What ??? or Rusty Nail even approached alternative metal and art rock , but did not want to deny the musical roots of the band in Mother Earth , There Is a Way or Waiting Tomorrow in a rudimentary way. The reissued version of Piece of Time , which was sung for the first time by Roberto Tiranti in the studio, follows the style of the old albums.

review

The album was generally well received. Daniel Køtz from Hardline Magazine rated the album as an “absolute highlight” and “extremely strong work, which logically does not come close to Freeman or even Return to Heaven Denied, but is without a doubt great” and awarded 9.5 out of 10 possible points. Singer Roberto Tiranti was also praised , who is "somewhere between Gary Hughes and Daniel Gildenlöw".

The editor Ulle from Vampster .com also praised the album and the band in general, which was "at a level well above the pot in which the German press especially likes to throw it". The cover of Come Together was rated as "rather lame".
