  ...Just to clarify, in case you saw the words “Italian” and “power metal” and immediately thought “Rhapsody clones,” Clairvoyants is not your typical Italian power metal band. There are no overblown symphonic arrangements, no lofty narration and no lyrics about magic swords or frolicking elves. Clairvoyants has a sound that’s somewhere between Iron Maiden (obviously) and the classic melodic power metal of early Angra, Edguy and Symphony X. The Shape of Things to Come is very melodic without getting into sing-song territory, has a nice use (but not overuse) of keyboards, and even has some progressive metal elements and lyrics that are more meaningful than the average power metal album...
  ...The Shape of Things to Come is an incredibly strong album overall, and one that really doesn’t have any weak moments...

  ...Delivering eleven tracks of brilliantly crafted old-school Power/Heavy Metal, this is one hell of a catchy and enjoyable release, that can compare to any big-name band in the scene...
  Overall, “The Shape of Things to Come” is actually an excellent release that features over 55 minutes of well-composed and well-executed music. There mixture of Power Metal and Heavy Metal elements is pretty solid, and the way the band is confident enough not to overcompensate with ridiculous guitar/keyboard sections is the best thing about them. In a time when everybody wants to be the fastest, the most complex, etc., it is very refreshing to hear Clairvoyants and their simple but effective approach to the genres they play.
