Wade Black's Astronomica - 'Sirens' (lyric video)

Τον Wade Alan Black τον γνώρισα (ως τραγουδιστή) στον (πολύ καλό) δίσκο των Crimson Glory "Astronomica" που κυκλοφόρησε το μακρινό 1999. Αργότερα τον ακούσαμε και σε δίσκους των Seven Witches, Leatherwolf, Chalice of Sin, Leash Law, War of Thrones κλπ.

Ο τίτλος του δίσκου που τον έκανε γνωστό σε ένα ευρύτερο κοινό αποτελεί και το όνομα της νέας του προσπάθειας. Astronomica ή για την ακρίβεια, Wade Black's Astronomica. "The Awakening" ο τίτλος του ντεμπούτου κι έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει σε λίγες ημέρες (8 Μαρτίου 2024) σε cd και βινύλιο μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Rock of Angels Records.

Ο δίσκος αποτελείται από δέκα τραγούδια (ένδεκα στην έκδοση του cd), τα:

01. Deceiver
02. Protectors of the Realm
03. Destiny
04. Monsters
05. Hellwalker
06. Darkness Falls
07. Fate or Faith
08. Chasing After
09. Letter From Hell
10. Sirens
11. Darkness Falls - edited version CD bonus track

Ακούμε (στον δίσκο, γιατί στις συναυλίες είναι διαφορετικό line-up) τους:

Wade Black - Vocals
Rich Marks - Lead Guitars, Rhythm Guitars, Basses, Additional Keyboards
Patrick Johansson - Drums
James Fox - Rhythm Guitars, Additional Guitars, Keyboards

Δελτίο τύπου: «30 Years of Metal: For three decades, Wade Black has triumphed and stayed metal recording and touring internationally in bands such as Crimson Glory, Leatherwolf, Seven Witches, Leash Law, and Chalice of Sin.

Neither a stranger to change nor afraid of being a catalyst for it, Wade is announcing both changes and some very enticing teasers of things to come in 2024.

Born out of over a decade of writing, recording and touring together: After working closely for over a decade Wade and Rich have developed a song writing style that is out of this world and the reason, they chose the name Astronomica.

They believe it’s the best way to describe their sound. Looking to the Future: They are looking forward to bringing music that captures the heart, mind and imagination of their fans, taking them on a journey to far off places and inspiring them to be their best!

They are also gearing up to bring their fans a kickass live show and looking forward to seeing all their METAL fists pumping in the air as the band decimates the stage.»

Παρακολουθούμε το lyric video του τραγουδιού "Sirens", για το οποίο η μπάντα μας λέει: «Sirens is dedicated to a very good friend of ours, Tony Reyes. He was a beautiful soul that was unfortunately taken away too soon.

The loss of life is such a tragic thing we all go through, especially when it is close to you. This song will be felt whole heartedly by those who have had to personally experience such a tragedy. This song is devoted to all that have been lost but never forgotten.»
