A little background on Elegy, recently announced for ProgPower USA XX III 2024....
The origins of the band name Elegy as dictionary’s explanation is rock solid. A poem written in elegiac meter; a lament or song of sorrow. However, the band's entire musical history was nothing more than a unique success story in the annals of Prog rock metal....
Elegy has reunited with their ultimate line-up;
Ian Parry – Vocals
Henk van der Laars – Guitar
Gilbert Pot – Guitar / keyboards
Martin Helmantel – Bass
Dirk Bruinenberg – Drums
The band will perform songs from their first three albums - Labyrinth Of Dreams, Supremacy, and Lost - as well as their internationally successful State Of Mind record from 1997, and followed Manifstation Of Fear from 1998, produced by Helloween's Keeper Of The Seven Keys producer Tommy Newton.
