CD/DVD Releases: Neverdream - New Album To Feature Guest Appearance By Vanden Plas Singer

Posted on Monday, April 23 @ 14:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Italian progressive metallers Neverdream will release their fourth album, The Circle, in the fall. The CD will be based on a dramatic concept story about family abuse, religious fanatism and a tragic hero. For the first time in the band's history, the album will be released digitally only and as a full free download.

The Circle takes its audience to the city of Corpus Christi in Texas in the middle of the '80s. A family father, strictly religious but violent at the same time, abuses his son sexually and puts pressure on him not to tell anyone about it. He tells his son about a belt of security that he built around the city with the help of God and that protects all good people from the evil. The evil in his eyes are betrayers, liars as well as all women.

One day the son's mother forces herself to go to the police to report the sexual abuse. The father goes to prison and the son begins to hate his mother -- blinded by the ideologies of his father, he moves away from this godless place. He eventually meets a girl and falls in love with her. But from this moment on, a number of murders begin to happen, with the victims all young women found with sewed eyes.

The story's main character, detective Thomas Curtis, is played and sung by German progressive icon Andy Kuntz of Vanden Plas, who was previously involved in the rock opera Christo. Kuntz currently works as a singer at a theater in Kaiserslautern.

Neverdream's third CD, 2010's Said, was produced by Achim Köhler (Primal Fear, Edguy, Masterplan) and was described in a press release as "a journey throughout the historical, social and cultural life of the cradle of human race."
