If you liked the first release "The cage I", then you'll love the second "The cage II". This follow up is even better than the previous and there are songs of very high quality like the fast rockers "Overload" and "Guardian angel". Tony Martin is singing excellent as usual and Dario Mollo is certainly a guitar player fit for in major league.

I suggest you also check out Rondinelli's "Our cross, our sins" (Tony Martin is doing the vocals) - a really great heavy metal album in traditional melodic line.

The cage2 is just as great as the first cage album,Martin's voice is beatiful again,specially in "wind of change". Another good thing in this album is the addition of bass player Tony Franklin who plays very good under Dario Mollo's riffs.It's a great CD as good as sabbath's TYR or Cross Purposes.

What a good second Cd from Dario And Tony. Not as dark as the first cage cd the band seems to lighten up a bit but still provide a good hardrock cd. Dario's Guitar work is great and Tonys voice is as good as ever. But the addition of Tony Franklin on bass is awesome he works very well with Dario. If your looking for a good hardrock cd this ones for you.

The leadoff track has some energy and "Overload" isn't a bad song, just sets the tempo for the majority of the album. The cover of Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" is very good, not really straying from the original, just beefing it up in the production department. The rest is just boring. Mollo does a better job with Glenn Hughes in Voodoo Hill.

If you like hard rock and good singers, I bet you've heard of Tony Martin (ex Black Sabbath). This record is very good most of the part. There are at least a couple of tracks that have the potental to be classics (at least if another band, like Sabbath, would have released them) - "overload", "guardian angel", "balance of power", "amore silenzioso", and "theater of dreams".

The Cage 2 is a great album. Tony Martin (who used to sing in Black Sabbath) joins with guitarist Dario Mollo and makes a great album in true hard rock style. The vocals are very good and the band does some impressive work. It has a good classical feel to it.
The music isn't that well known wich is a shame and that's probably why the album is so expensive. It's worth the money but not much more.
Good tracks include: Overload, Life, Love, Everything, Wind Of Change and Theater Of Dreams.

Buy it if your economy allows it ; )

I have been a Tony Martin fan since his days in Black Sabbath. Tony has a great rock voice that I can only compare to Don Dokken or Ray Gillen. Top notch!!

Este disco tiene un ritmo un poco mas rapido como el que nos tenía acostumbrados con Black Sabbath, pero su voz potente al escucharla se nos olvidan esos defectos, Dario Mollo un guitarrista muy bueno, pero su estilo es muy Speed, la mejor canción en este disco es sin lugar a duda Amore Silencioso, su proyecto es muy bueno pero se debería bajar un poco las revoluciones para poder ser un disco de época
