Epica - Divine Conspiracy CD

Divine Conspiracy buy CD music First Edition North America Pressings Will Be Sold As A Special Digipak Design. Once These Are Sold Out, They Will Be Replaced With The Standard European Jewel Box Version. New Jersey prog-metal stalwarts Symphony X return with PARADISE LOST, their first outing since 2002's THE ODYSSEY. Their literary aspirations remain intact--the album is inspired by the John Milton epic poem of the same name--and per usual, Michael Romeo's Byzantine tablature and Russell Allen's vocals are the main attractions. Throughout PARADISE LOST the band fantasizes that all '80s thrash and '90s doom metal did not happen, and that they are picking up right where Randy Rhodes and Yngwie Malmsteem left off in the early 1980s. In their vision, technical dexterity and neo-classicism--note the inclusion of a string section and piano balladry--trump mathy angst, satanic sludge, and stoner riffage.

Divine Conspiracy CD music Metal maestros Kamelot scored a major triumph with 2007's landmark symphonic opus, GHOST OPERA. An evocative blend of bulldozer metal, twisting prog, and grand, opulent strings, GHOST OPERA'S fusion of classical and heavy sounds was about as seamless a finished product as the genre's ever seen. With this reissue, the band has added on a second disc of thrilling live material, showcasing Kamelot's significant chops from a show in old-world Belgrade, Serbia. Live songs like the oppressive "The Human Stain" and the epic, windswept title track take on a whole new dramatic life against the backdrop of mysterious Eastern Europe. Kamelot (U.S.): Khan (vocals); Thomas Youngblood (guitars); Oliver Palotai (keyboards); Glenn Barry (bass guitar); Casey Grillo (drums). Additional personnel: Sascha Paeth (guitars); Miro (keyboards); Amanda Sommerville, Thomas Rettke, Robert Hunecke, Cinzia Rizzo, Rizzo (background vocals); Simone Simons.

Divine Conspiracy buy CD music Dutch pomp-metal band Epica, fronted by classically trained mezzo-soprano Simone Simons, released their second album for Nuclear Blast only a year after their label debut, the more unique The Classical Conspiracy. That two-disc live set found them performing a mix of classical works and their own songs with backing by a full orchestra and choir. This album offers more of their bombastic goth metal songs, with Simons' vocals floating atop an ever flowing stream of complicated drumming, epic riffs, and shredtastic solos. The use of orchestral instruments to add John Williams-like climaxes is intermittently successful, but the music is just as frequently stripped down to an unaccompanied piano or to just the rock band, and that works, too. The very occasional interruption of male death growls is less necessary; frankly, the band should just let Simons do her Sarah Brightman-esque thing and keep the riffs cranking behind her. If you like this sort of thing (Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, After Forever, Leaves' Eyes, etc., etc.), or if you're a big Andrew Lloyd Webber fan, this is exactly the sort of thing you'll like. ~ Phil Freeman 2009 release from the Dutch gothic metal band includes 13 tracks Lyricist: Amanda Somerville.
