Tomamos contacto hoy con la noticia de un nuevo lanzamiento de Agents Of Mercy, la banda espejo de Karmakanic como side project de The Flower Kings. Agents Of Mercy es el proyecto paralelo de Roine Stolt, que desde 2009 viene desarrollando una línea creativa que conjuga a algunos integrantes de The Flower Kings (Stolt, Jonas Reingold, Lalle Larsson) con el vocalista de Unifaun, Ned Sylvan. Por sus filas ya han pasado varios destacados músicos, que van formando parte del proyecto en alguna etapa concreta, mientras que los otros tienen otra permanencia. Así, han participado Pat Mastelotto, Zoltan Csörsz o Jimmy Keegan. La banda lleva 2 álbumes editados, The Fading Ghosts Of Twilight [2009] y DramaRama [2010], estos de estudio, a los cuales se suma un disco en vivo conjuntamente con Karmakanic, The Power Of Two [2010].
Pues bien, para el 17 de setiembre se anuncia la aparición del tercer disco de estudio de Agents Of Mercy, que llevará por título The Black Forest y que mantendrá la alineación que realizó DramaRama el año pasado. A las voces de Sylvan y las guitarras de Stolt, se suman el bajo de Reingold, los teclados de Larsson y la batería de Walle Wahlgren.
De esta manera, esta otra novedad se suma a las que anticipáramos en un post anterior
Así lo publican, tanto en la página oficial de The Flower Kings como en la de Agents Of Mercy:
Yes, the time has come to announce the birth of a new album by AGENTS OF MERCY.
The album is called "The Black Forest" and is what some may call a "concept album".
Agents Of Mercy - The Black Forest (2011) Now you've heard that term a million times - 'cause it's PROG. However it is safe to say that this one really is - the album concept dealing with that big dark and scary forest - but not a story about hobbits trolls and dragons. "The Black Forest" is a surreal journey - a metaphor for a trip through very dark disturbing and likewise scary times, where we all set out on a lifelong journey knowing of all the scary encounters lurking out there. Greed, lust, hunger for power, money, eternal life, mindcontrol, poisoned water and food, warheads, warpigs, new princes re-building the babylonian towers now and again- and guess what..... we're the prey !!
The world is a beautiful place but also very turbulent times lies ahead - beware - be strong !
(btw. Love is the only answer !)
The music is a more rock oriented path we've taken, for good reasons - we are a R&R band at the core but we like symphonic music, jazz and folk or whatever tickle our fancy at the time.
The tunes are longer and more elaborated (prog) but sometimes with a ironfist of raw power punching your surprised face - play it loud!
Same lineup - more power - more detail - more confident - all ready to move you in a live setting.
As the tunes and mixes line up it is likely we end up with a bundle that contain songs like:
The Black Forest
My Elegy
A Quiet Little Town
Black Sunday
Citadel
Freak Of Life
Carry You Home
Bleeding By The Roadside
The Seeds Of Success
Just wrapping up mix, final worrd is out there... any day and it is with great confidence I can say this album will go off with a BANG!
-It'll convert the unconvertible, exalt the unexalted, bring more joy to the joyous, bring dreams to the dreamless, power to the people - salute the summits and implode the bored and lost lovers of music in the shire.
