Beyond The Skies Eternity

Ivan Bertolla
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

"Imagine cinematic, 'Mortal Kombat' imagery , progressive instrumental music with adventurous electric guitar, orchestras, aggressive choir, opera singers, church organs,Western And Eastern chants with a focus on thematic compositions,"is the quote from an Australian music editor about Ivan Bertolla's CD Beyond The Skies Eternity. Targeting his music towards action films, progressive music fans, and guitar lovers, Bertolla offers seventeen unique compositions heavily laden with wickedly fast keyboards and guitar synth (think Vitalij Kuprij crossed with a guitar-playing Jens Johansson), rhythmic crunch, sampled choirs, and Pentium-speed guitar runs, which are inserted at carefully chosen places in the compositions for maximum impact. When the guitar does appear, it is ultra-heavy and designed to stun. Quite an ambitious set of instrumentals offered here by Bertolla - this is taking the genre into a creative new direction.
