ANCIENT BARDS finish new album „A New Dawn Ending“

ANCIENT BARDS along with Limb Music and Rockshots Music Management, are proud to present „A New Dawn Ending“.
 
This is the title of the new album of Ancient Bards, containing the third and last chapter of the first part of the Black Crystal Sword Saga, which began with „The Alliance Of The Kings“ in 2010 and continued with „Soulless Child“ in 2011.
 
Ancient mysteries, entangled schemes, come in succession together with strange revelations, during the long and intense battle this chapter is about, a battle that takes place both inside and outside the charachters. The songs were all recorded at Simone Mularoni’s Domination Studio.
 
„A New Dawn Ending“ will be released on April 25th, 2014.
 
Daniele: „For us now it’s a habit and a guarantee to record at Domination Studio, with Simone we studied the best sound for this album, which this time goes beyond our previous productions: the guitars are even more aggressive, the orchestrations and arrangements are more epic than ever, while the choir, which is more present, has a new and more important role. These are the main ingredients of this final chapter of the Saga. The music flawlessly delivers the events of the story, every note fits it perfectly like a tailored suit. With this album we tried to reach a high level of epicness because we want the listeners to enjoy it to the fullest: the choruses are likely to resonate in your head for a long time. The composition are, of course, all enriched by the beautiful, clear and strong voice of Sara, by the engaging solos of Claudio and Martino and accompanied by the uncontrollable machine that is Federico.This can probably be the best chapter of the saga so far.“
 
In addition to all of this, there’s an added value to the album, a very special guest in the track ‚The Last Resort‘: Fabio Lione from Rhapsody of Fire, a name that definitely doesn’t need any introduction, duets with Sara in pure magic.

MASTERS OF DISGUISE – Back With A Vengeance

Even though it may seem so at first glance, „Back With A Vengeance“ by MASTERS OF DISGUISE is NOT copying the legendary past of Savage Grace, the speed metal legends whose name can still be seen on patches on the jackets of one in three metal fans. No, MASTERS OF DISGUISE fills the musical gap, which Savage Grace left behind them, and they do it brilliantly with incredible self-assurance. „Back With A Vengeance“ is a furious firework of speed and power, topped with a decent portion of melodies taking their talents to the musical limits.

Tracklisting:

•  01. Back With A Vengeance / 2:02
•  02. Never Surrender / 4:41
•  03. The Omen / 4:10
