Crusade Of Bards - Tales Of Bards & Beasts - CD

Crusade Of Bards is the newest evolution of symphonic metal, smoothly blending the most bombastic orchestrations with traditional instruments and heavy riffs. Their debut album will lead the listeners on a musical journey through space and time from Ancient Greece to the shores of Sweden, uncovering the darkest myths of the deepest abyss while enjoying a good story around a campfire. Mixed and mastered by Dani G (Rage, Lingua Mortis Orchestra, Firewind, Last Days of Eden) at Estudios Dynamita in Asturies, Spain, 'Tales of Bards & Beasts' will show the different facets of the band delicately melted to a complex yet melodic result: from the powerhouse orchestrations and symphonic Grandeur ('Of Bards & Beasts') to the speed and magnificence of catchy melodies ('The Golden Vessel'), from the flamboyant extravaganza of traditional instruments and dark passages ('Chapter Twelve') to the heart-breaking duet of a struggling ballad ('Ulysses'Cry'), from an old inn shanty ('Pirates of the Night') to a raging battle song ('Gunpowder'). On top of all this, the album is completed with outstanding collaborations such as Henning Basse (Firewind, MaYan)
or Lady Ani (Last Days Of Eden).
