Description
The Sun sets, vainly fighting to the last illuminating ray of light to dominate the landscape. However, the age old battle ends the same way as always... The Night takes over and sweet darkness covers the land. Once again the creatures of the night emerge from thier lairs and roam the land during these precious hours given to them by the victorious night.
And as every night that has come before... each soul that lives for and thrives in the shadows and the darkness, prays in it's own way that perhaps, some time in the future... the dawn will never come.
Requiem is the second CD by the band Gothic Blues.
Dark, Melodic and Powerful are words easily used to describe the fine mixture of Heavy Metal, Blues and Medieval Music that is, the style and sound of Gothic Blues.
Like thier debut this CD is also guitar driven.
What is Gothic Blues?
The simple answer ... Gothic Blues is an entity that has to date produced, recorded and released two independant cd's consisting of a total of 23 songs / over 1 hour and 20 minutes worth of original music.
The more complicated answer is that Gothic Blues is music from the heart and soul ... the music that I hear in my head. corporate produced cd's will traditionally have songs that will include all instruments. One can easily expect to hear 2 guitars, a bass, drums and vocals on each and every song ... but, Gothic Blues is not a traditional band, what each song needs determines what is used ... one song may be just 2 guitars, another may have 3 guitars, a bass, drums, vocals and keyboards. Not every song will have lyrics, over half are instrumentals and the songs that do have lyrics are not always sung. Not all songs have the "manditory" solo, some however have several solos
Another way of explaining the sound of Gothic Blues is ...
30% Blues
40% Heavy Metal
20% Medieval
10% Soundtrack
Or ...
20% Black Sabbath
15% Metallica
15% Rob Zombie
10% Richie Sambora
10% Stevie Ray Vaughan
10% W.A.S.P.
10% ZZ Top
05% John Lennon
05% Randy Rhoads
As I stated before, this music is not based on a formula, created by corporate executives and lawyers. No behind-the-scene figures poured over every word, note and idea with the goal of a top ten hit, or the of selling of millions of discs. This is music created in the purest sense... music of the soul.
Having stated before production began, that no compromises would be made in the creation of this CD, neither in vision, creatively, or music-wise. You will find that Gothic Blues : Requiem is the fulfillment of that statement. This CD is solid in soundscape as well in feeling ... there is even humor to be found here.
The music of Gothic Blues isn't for everyone and wasnt meant for everyone... Those who enjoy only "formula rock" and "standard pop music" will become confused and feel left out, they will not and I will not lower the bar so that they are able to "get it". I am not worried about those who don't, won't or can't understand what I am doing...That is always the way, they can stay in the safety zone provided by local radio stations, continue to be mindless pawns of the record companies and be led by thier friends who tell them what to watch, what to wear, who to associate with and what is cool.
With the beginning of the recording of the second album, a new member has been added. This new member is "Spooky", she acts as Creative Consultant, as well as, doing some lyrical and vocal work,
