An amazingly fluid album that encompasses an enormous array of sonic elements. It sometimes feels as if the inter-song change-ups and transitions are a bit forced and can leave the listener disoriented, but it retains a solid sense of itself and never goes so far outside the (very wide) boundaries that it's sets up for itself with the first few tracks that it ever sounds un-orderly. The "songwriting" is very thoughtful and patient; the album unfolds before you, step-by-step, and though it may seem all over the place at first listen, the soundscape matures and builds over the course the album and it all ends up being quite epic, even if they did try to do a little too much in some of the tracks. A genre-smashing, passion-filled effort that you can come back to again and again.
I have just one question. How in the blue hell are they gonna play this live?

Approximately 10 years in the making, French metal virtuosos Kalisia have created a record that is almost as epic as the story behind it's creation. Beginning with the intention of creating an ambitious concept album comprised entirely of one whole song, Kalisia have certainly succeeded in this regard, as Cybion flows effortlessly from one part to the next for it's lengthy duration, leaving the listener little time to take a breather. More impressively, Kalisia leave few sub-genre's untouched, moving swiftly from symphonic to progressive death, industrial and even jazz metal all with a grace missing from most bands who flout so many genre boundaries. Even though Cybion lacks direction at times, it stands as an intriguing listen that has surprisingly eluded a record deal or official release even today.
