Chas Cronk - Liberty - VINYL LP

David Gates - First / Never Let Her Go / Goodbye Girl [COMPACT DISCS] 2 Pack date 06/04/2021

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2018 . Crone is a dark rock band from Northern Germany, led and shaped by Secrets of the Moon mastermind Phil 'sG' Jonas and Markus Renzenbrink. Godspeed is the group's first full-length LP and follow-up to Crone's 2014 debut, Gehenna, an EP hailed as Inchmorose, thick, melodic music for cloudy daysInch. A conceptual album with song titles and themes inspired by real life tragedies and mysterious events, Godspeed pairs heavy subject matter with emotionally-charged music. Each track on the record is a cenotaph to a real-life person(s) that met an unfortunate or untimely demise; each track a touching testimonial to an incredible instance in time. InchThe PtilonistInch is about inventor and parachuting pioneer Franz Reichelt who jumped to his death from the Eiffel Tower while testing a wearable parachute of his own design. InchHInch pays homage to stage actress Peg Entwistle who, in 1932, jumped to her death from the giant letter InchHInch on California's famous Hollywood sign. Cuts like InchMother CroneInch, InchThe Perfect ArmyInch, InchLeviathan's LifeworkInch and others are epic, electric eulogies, each with it's own odd tale to tell! On a purely musical level, Godspeed is a compelling and cathartic marriage of alternative rock energy and hard rock grit. Crone crafts hypnotic harmonies and haunting melodies that would easily find favor with fans of Alice in Chains, Opeth, Crippled Black Phoenix and Ghost. With Godspeed, Crone creates bleak music that's not consumed by darkness.

140 Gram Black Vinyl. History repeats itself. Haven't we heard that one before? (Which actually proves that the statement is true.) It's not only a frequently heard comment, it also happens to be the main theme of a new double album by Edward Reekers entitled 'The Liberty Project'. So what is it? A rockopera, a musical, a concept album? Yes. But we'll get to that in a minute. So what's it all about? Imagine there had been a second Big Bang. Would that have altered our evolution or even created a parallel world? And if so, what would that world look like, who would be it's inhabitants? InchI wanted to create a story within a story so I introduced Thomas and Catherine, falling in love, splitting up and finding their way back together again. With a society in turmoil around them where politicians, bankers and journalists, amongst others, comment on the situation they're confronted withInch.Reekers turned to Joost van Broek, who he had met during his Ayreon perfomances, asking him to help him get the Liberty Project on it's way. The collaboration turned out to be a magical one. And that's not the only friend he's had a little help from. Arjen Lucassen played guitars and bass guitar on one of the songs. Mark Lennon of Venice did the leadvocals for a song, Harry Sacksioni delivered a guitarsolo and former Genesis member Steve Hackett contributed a guitar part.InchThe recording process was an overwhelming experience for meInch, Reekers confesses. InchWe had Vandenberg's Koen Herfst on drums, giving it his all, Mark Bogert on guitars, Johannes Adema on basses, a string section, a mixed choir and even a childrens choir. Having composed all the music and written all the lyrics for the project it really was a dream come true for me to hear it come to life with so many great musicians and singers giving me the benefit of their wonderful talentInch.A grand total of 17 tracks is th
