"...Pleasant sensation of these Italians with their first release try to perfect their music as establishing a touchdown. They are a band that can develop a very wide range of styles and ways of viewing music..." "...The most positive aspect is that the issues are not convoluted and enter the first being pleasing to the ear of the listener. This EP "Imperfect Dichotomy" in a nutshell is fine and I think it is a shuttle in the future will come..." "...Five musicians with excellent sound to which it is worth spending some of your time to listen carefully and deepen the EP..."

— Jesus Maiden, Metal Trooper Palencia

"Imperfect Dichotomy" is also an important lesson in the concept of an album as a whole, rather than the sum of its parts. But it is the way they roll together, the way they tell a story from beginning to end that makes this more than just five random songs. There is a true progression in the thought process of the subject, something that can be felt not only in the printed lyrics, but in the music itself. As the mood changes inside the mind of one man, the overall sound of the instrumental changes with it. It becomes a testament to the storytelling and songwriting ability of this band and its members. A while they may make it hard to listen to only one track at a time, Schysma give you five reasons to sit back, press play, and enjoy the fall of man.

— Darrel Carey, Sorrow Metal

“The debut E. P by the Italians with the Greek name "Schysma" and titled "Imperfect Dichotomy", is a very good sample first work, as well as an excellent example of progressive/"alternative" heavy metal! The concept of heavy metal, and I mean the 5 pieces of e. P is intensely and powerfully, letting you feel how the band wanted.”

— RockOverdose

“Each sounds different with some thread that besides being in Riccardo's voice is in the timbres of keyboards that give a personal touch to the band. About Riccardo tell which appears as the only vocalist according to information received and if so its timbral possibilities are spectacular, because at times it seems that there are two vocalists. Some stories seem to be related to biblical themes as in the case of "Migdal" and himself "Sinners" with its choral final. The songs are generally long and well developed musically. Well, that is a good start for a band that hopefully has more jobs and money, success and fame.”

— Tony Gonzalez, RockenCuba

"SCHYSMA reach fully the objective, offering half-hour of music in a perfect balance between the melodic and the metal, avoiding also to be enticed by the instrumental technicalities that too often encumbers the outputs in this area. Merit, then, of a songwriting effective, always incisive and never drops tone. Imperfect Dichotomy is highly recommended to anyone who appreciates the prog less bizarre, and is simply listened and listened again to appreciate the nuances that lie within it."

— Stefano Cavanna, In your Eyes

“Όπως βέβαια είναι φυσικό, οι "πειραματισμοί" είναι πανταχού παρών χωρίς ευτυχώς να επισκιάζουν το αποτέλεσμα της καλής μουσικής που η μπάντα θέλει να μας δώσει”

— Rock Overdose

"The songwriting on this album is absolutely stellar. The way the songs twist and turn hurtling down heavy passages and then slowing down for a more ambient part makes the songs very flowing and helps to bring the music closer to the heart. I also really like the way that the guitar lines are finely interwoven with the keyboard parts for an interesting overall timbre. In this way they remind me a lot of Rush. Meanwhile the rhythm section is tight and they use lots of interesting bass and drum fills to add flavor to the songs. Finally the vocals are very much reminiscent of those of Geoff Tate of Queensryche."

— Matt Baggins, Two Guys Metal Review

““Imperfect Dichotomy” dwells within the realm of progressive without falling prey to the styles most obvious stereotypes. This is progressive to be sure, but it seems to have a style all its own, and I like that about the EP. ”

— George Washburn, Metal Disciple

"It's always a good feeling to find a band that comes out from nowhere and convince us. The young Italian prog-metal band SCHYSMA is a rare case. Do I look too excited? Yep get there. Skilled musicians in the scene's are by now a dime a dozen, and thanks to modern production technology's usually sounds even after a huge prduction job, but the music pleasure degenerates when competing in a more or less boring quotes rates too often. SCHYSMA sound fresh and hungry and carry a lot of enthusiasm "

— Mario, Rock Garage (DE)

“The band has already in this first opportunity to build their own undeniable stylistic identity, no small achievement. The band was able to rise well above the average of the new bands”

— Michele Martini, Rock Hard Italia

“Formation than all the other, more original and distinctive style interesting that the easiest way would be defined as a progressive heavy metal”

— Lukasz Frasek, Power metal Warrior

“Progressive metal high technical caliber comes once again from Italy by these young Schysma that add to your style some few gothic touches getting a fusion of sounds reminiscent of bands like Black Sabbath, Dream Theater, Symphony X generally these guys must keep working to find a much clearer direction in his proposal, at least so far has demonstrated his thing but the feeling is much more that can still”

— Miguel Ramirez, Mundo Rock

“To impress the most is the capital trial of the singer Richard Minicucci, certainly above average with regard to the new progressive italian metal. And, to accompany him, a band in big sweep, and all the work well registered at the XStudio in Milan. So, if you fancy something fresh, well made and with good future potential, you have found bread for your teeth "”

— Raffaele Salomoni, MetalItalia.com

"The band, in fact, shows a very personal style, which is not that much to do with the prog metal in the strict sense: rather, it is a metal sounding fresh and modern, welcoming occasionally some contamination , just like some alternatives fills, other flavor gothic, some electronic inserts, oriental or folk arpeggios , sung in various ways (and in some cases even extreme), resulting in a very original mixture and not at all obvious"

— Elio F, StereoInvaders

"Great debut for Schysma, which launch the band with the bigs of our national metal scene, bringing a breath of fresh air composition, interpretation and technique. Everything here is very well made and designed, big band, great future and ready for the big jump. "

— Giorgio Barbieri, Metal Maniac, Jan 2013

"I am convinced that many fans of the genre can not pass up the opportunity to contact the band to take home this little masterpiece! All the 5 tracks in this" Imperfect Dichotomy "are well played, composed and arranged to perfection, and our Schysma are convinced they have nothing to envy to the most 'large international prog metal band., and then it says that in Italy the talent is lacking "

— Roby Coletti, Scream Radio (ITA)

"'Imperfect Dichotomy' is therefore a positive start and conforming to Schysma, which can then start from a good base to give birth to their first job in the long run."

— Fabio Rancati, Italia del Metallo (ITA)

"What can I say, what we've got is a job well done and kept under the points of view, and it deserves maximum support. If you can, make it your own or at least give it a listen, it is worth."

— Somberlain, The Murder Inn (ITA)

"Now more than ever I am convinced of what I heard and I think I've rarely found in front of a group with lots of potential on his first."

— Andrea DeMarchi, Metallized (ITA)

"To sum up," Impefect Dichotomy "is a young album with great potential and a great business card for a band as Schysma which we want to show that in Italy there is metal! Support people and do not miss this job ! "

— Luca Basile, Rock Em All (ITA)

"In perfect tune for an explosive start to Schysma's career, as the Italian quintet deliver an emphatic display of intricately weaved melodies and razor-sharp Progressive Metal that is as elegant as the creativity of the once-was Italian renaissance composers, much like the modernized version of Rossini in terms of the power and level of complexity induced on the band's debut EP 'Imperfect Dichothomy'."

— Rhys Stevenson, GMA (UK)

““when the line-up is completed the work started in the best way and this half-hour of songs is the best we could expect from a Progressive Metal elegant, thoughtful, sounds nice and flawless technique. Great potential for Schysma and I'm sure in the future we will hear some good. For now promoted with his thumb up. Bravi! "”

— Carnival creation, Metal Wave (ITA)

" SCHYSMA performs a style of music that explores the familiar progressive musical territory of legendary bands such as DREAM THEATER and RUSH while blending these styles with a more modern edge." "Overall, "Imperfect Dichotomy" is an outstanding debut effort by a recognizably talented group who are only just beginning to explore their full musical potential"

— Jeff Poirier, Road Rayge Metal Mag (USA)
