Born as a one-off musical extravaganza by two Norwegian metal and hard rock giants, Trond Holter (ex-Wig Wam, JORN) and singer Jorn Lande, the Dracula Rock Opera has now morphed into a regular musical project with guitarist, producer, and songwriter Trond Holter on the helm.
While the original plan was to leave “Swing Of Death” as a unique,
one-off musical recording, the success the musical had being staged in front of
audiences in Norwegian theaters convinced Trond that a follow up was not only
possible, but maybe even mandatory. He was sitting on plenty of material anyway
and still felt inspired to tell the stories of Dracula and Vampires that did
not find a home on the debut album.
The product of this new inspiration is “Vlad The Impaler.” Vlad, also known
as Vlad Dracula, was voivode (or prince) of Wallachia three times between 1448
and his death and is the historical figure that inspired the famous legends
about Dracula.
With a lineup featuring singers
Nils K Rue (Pagan’s Mind) and Eva
Iselin Erichsen, Bernt
Jansen on bass, Per Morten Bergseth on drums, and Erling Henanger on keyboards,
“Vlad The Impaler”
starts
where “Swing Of Death” left off. Musically, it is an album that gets straight
to the point while simultaneously utilizing diverse musical landscapes and
includes catchy and melodic songs in a similar style to the previous album.
Think Savatage meets Meat Loaf meets Queen meets Alice Cooper with contemporary
hard rock.
Without a doubt “Vlad
The Impaler” is to be one of the highlights of
the melodic metal genre in 2018!
Produced by Trond Holter
