Artist: LEVANT
Title: Beyond the Masque of Eden
Format: CD
Label: Dead Scarlet Records (@)
Rated: *****
LeVant is a project where is involved the Romanian composer and producer George D. Stanciulescu best known for his dark orchestral act Ad Ombra, band with at their active two albums on Rage In Eden. Released by the Greek label Dead Scarlet Records, BEYOND THE MASQUE OF EDEN contains eleven new tracks which musically span from neo-classical, dark wave and electronic music where dramatic atmospheres find their counterpart into upbeat dance rhythms and lyrically it has excerpts of poems by R.M. Rilke, E.A. Poe, D. Campana, M. Eminescu. Collaborating with three soprano (Alexandra Damian, Ilinca Olteanu and Maria Paduraru) and with Mihai Mhalu on guitars, George recorded the tracks alternating rich electronic sounds with guitar solos to piano and orchestra driven parts. Doing so, he succeeded into creating an album where the cinematic atmospheres are able to fascinate the listener. Also the choir and the soprano solos help a lot into creating the mysterious ambiance which is present overall the whole album.
