Sons of Seasons- Magnisphyricon

[Harvester]

"Magnisphyricon" is a surprise top 10 disc contendor for me. It is a true prog/power hybrid: Heavy, symphonic, aggressive, melodic, and plenty of curve balls.

It's a huge step up from their debut - the better production did them wonders. "Into the Void" is awesome.

 

[Diamond45]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing Glenn! Didn't know that Henning Basse was on lead vocals. Always a plus IMHO.

I see it's available on eMusic. Download time!

+1

Btw, that song could have been on the last Kamelot disc.

I was thinking the same thing... it did sound very Kamelot-like.

I was thinking the same thing... it did sound very Kamelot-like.

At first, I thought perhaps Oliver has a much stronger influence on the Kamelot writing than most realize. However, I then woke up and remembered that Roy wrote all the music, wrote all the lyrics, wrote all the melodies, produced the disc, mixed the disc, mastered the disc, cleaned the studio, did all the press, booked shows & tours, and all legal crap for Kamelot.

Well... it's their keyboardist's band.

Thomas writes most of the material, but Khan probably writes a lot of his vocal melodies.

 

[Harvester]

Thomas writes most of the material.

I triple dog dare you to post that on the Kamelot facebook page amongst the Church of Kahn zealots.

 

[Cheiron]

Done, and more.

Agreed that Oliver is a very significant part of Kamelot's sound.

Oliver: “Magnus“ is Latin and means “big“, in this case it means more something like “all-embracing“. Then there is the word “sphere“ and the postsuffix “con“, to combine both words. Meant is the world of an artist and the threat to it through the world outside and it's mundane needs. The word also reflects the completion of the band with our second guitar player Pepe Pierez. The title suddenly popped up in my mind. If I'm not mistaken I woke up one day and there it was.

 

[Akumu]

Oliver's credited with writing the last part of Poetry for the Poisoned's title track, "Dissection," in the booklet, which is very Sons of Seasons-esque.

I'd love to see SoS at ProgPower XIII, especially considering they will probably never tour here!

Same! I have some Kamelot fandom friends who've seen them live and say that they're great. I think they'd go down very well!

Great minds think alike!

Been spinning this for several days now. And still hoping for a PP appearance.

Thanks Glenn for the definition of the word!
