Magni Animi Viri has put together a intriguing and almost totally unique sounding, where you can also find a perfect combination of Classic Music, adding the best Melodic Metal style with the traditional Symphonic Progressive Rock. Magni Animi Viri are not a new Band, they are really a new conception and a finest example of how to create a true and a pure epic Rock Opera that, includes all the musical elements that you have never heard before, their musical performance is top-notch, having many musical sections. Great interchange and fantastic interplay between keys and guitar, dynamic and playful vocals, lyrics are in Italian and Latin, everything fits perfectly with the orchestral arrangements, fascinating listening experience both musically and lyrically, you can hear pure moments of magic. There is something unreal in their music which leads the listener to another dimension and which enable us to dream more than ever. A collection of songs that come from the heart, a music with a new fresh innovative approach that will put Magni Animi Viri in the premier league of todays progscene. You can Imagine a perfect mix of "Banco Del Mutuo Socorso", "Nightwish", "Dream Theater", "New Trolls" and "Epica", all together into a dreamy atmosphere. I hope see "Heroes Temporis" recorded alive in a DVD, I believe that, it will be the best concert from all times. Brilliant, amazing, perfect and a fantastic work, highly recommendable for all progressive rock fans around the world... Great international artists have participated in the recording of "Heroes Temporis". The
main musicians on this project are:

MAGNI
ANIMI VIRI
A trip towards knowledge, the discovery of reality as an illusion, the classical world meeting rock, a symphonic orchestra and a progressive band for a new, exciting rock opera with major international guests.
The difficult was to combine everything in a uniform and well balanced manner, two different "worlds" while trying to obtain contemporarily a warm and harmonious sound from a symphonic orchestra. Simple melodies at times sung by a strong and proud classical voice, like the one from a tenor, others by a sweet but raw feminine voice. Even from a literary point of view, the fusion of sentiment and contrasting emotions, reflects the hybrid musical soul of the work, giving it the right lyrical atmosphere through a marvelous modulation of emotions. "Heroes Temporis", through the sequence of its tracks, narrates the story of a man that, in an undetermined time and space, encounters male and female characters, and thus, he reflects on the events of his life.
The dream rappresents the symbolic dressings of his own being. The emotions of daily life are projected into his dream, in this case, sentiment and desires are a "man-protagonist". The dream is given as a renewal, as a matured way of freeing one´s self, that is to say, a stimulus for a new life (the character - man is born again).
