SWAN CHRISTY: One with the Swan CD 1998 Progressive Metal mixed w. folk opera. CHECK audio (whole album)

Description

Classical music meets metal.
As it turns out this is a concept album about a king who sells his soul in order to get a son. This isn`t extreme metal at all. Instead we get sort of a mix between opera and musical. The main instrument seems to be a piano, we also get some guitar riff`s quite heavy, and some good solos in between. A violin is also used a lot, the drums are high in the mix and this works well.
The title track is a fully symphonic track without modern instruments. The vocal`s is a mix between operatic female and clean male. Both quite good.

Conclusion: if your want something different and like easy listening classical music, you should give it a listen!

The first SWAN CHRISTY album from this Progressive Metal mix between opera and musical. The main instrument seems to be a piano, we also get some guitar riff`s quite heavy, and some good solos in between. A violin is also used a lot, the drums are high in the mix and this works well. The title track is a fully symphonic track without modern instruments. The vocal`s is a mix between operatic female and clean male. Both quite good. The songs are well structured, their sound is enriched by passages from violin and piano and keyboards, and the production is better. The true power of the album stands in the compositions themselves which are great. This is a concept album about a king who sells his soul in order to get a son.
