Hello... Since you seem to be interrested in this genre, I will present my project. It took one year to achieve this piece. I'm also waiting for the release of my friend Sam Arkan (Origins).
Maybe you can also check:
- Beto Vasquez Infinity's albums.
- Cybion by Kalisia (with Arjen Lucassen as guest on vocals) : 1 song but 1hour11min11sec long
- The Black Halo by Kamelot since it's a concept album ands there are other musicians (Jens Johanson, Simone Simons, Shargath etc etc).
The Road to Consciousness is a joint venture of talented musicians from different countries, united in one common passion for music. The music and lyrics were originally composed by Bernard Daubresse, founding member of the Brussels based band Free Launch.
After some tracks were written, Bernard contacted Kristell Lowagie, he knew for her work as author and singer with
Skeptical Minds. She was the first one to join the team. The teammates are friends or musicians contacted through the net. Finally, no less than 20 talented musicians and singers lend their talent to achieve this piece.
Yves Huts from the well known Dutch band
Epica made an awesome work on the orchestral parts.
The concept of the album is focused on human adventures. You will discover some characters who are experiencing situation that maybe some listeners have experienced themselves :
quest for spirituality, crazy ambitions, fear of the death, deceptions etc... All this leading to an epic song divided in 4 parts. If you like great vocal performances, epic guitar solos and catchy chorus you will love this piece.
