Symphony Of The Universe

Cristiano Filippini's Flames Of Heaven released Symphony Of The Universe on Limb Music on 14 November 2025, and Spiritual Beast's Japanese CD (IUCP-16379) followed on 17 December 2025 with two bonus tracks that are only on that edition, an acoustic "Don't Leave Me Tonight" and "Under The Firmament", for 15 songs in all. Spiritual Beast describes it as the second album from the melodic power metal band led by the Italian composer and guitarist, after the 2020 debut The Force Within, and says its story was inspired by Saint Seiya. Limb Music's video notes tie "On The Wings Of Phoenix" to Masami Kurumada's manga and Phoenix Ikki's training on a volcanic island, and describe "The Archangel's Warcry" as the war the Archangel Michael fought against the rebel angels. The line-up credited in those video descriptions has Filippini, who also produced, on lead and rhythm guitars, keyboards, arrangements and orchestrations, Michele Vioni on guitars, Marco Pastorino of Temperance on vocals, Giorgio Terenziani on bass and Paolo Caridi on drums, with Simone Mularoni mixing and mastering at Domination Studio. "When Love Burns" and "Midnight Riders" have official videos, and the other two songs lyric videos.
