Bio:
Lucid Dreaming is the brainchild of Elvenpath guitarist Till Oberboßel.A project created to tell a fantasy story with the voices of some of the most extraordinary singers of the (underground) Metal scene.No, not another "Metal Opera". Yes, a fascinating listening experience that has everything Metal needs.The first album is entiteld "The Chronicles Pt. I". It was unleashed upon this and other worlds on August 2nd, 2013!
Album:
The project Lucid Dreaming by the Hessian guitarist Til Oberboßel from the Elvenpath group goes with “The Chronicles Pt. III “as you can see from the title in the third round. In Part 3, too, Oberboßel created a concept disc for Lloyd Alexander's five-volume High Fantasy series of novels, "The Chronicles of Prydain". Like the second part (2017), this album includes the fourth book “Taran Wanderer”. In addition to Oberboßel, various musicians from the environment play on the disc, such as Mercury Falling guitarist Tobias Galmarini. The characters appearing in the story such as Title hero Taran are embodied by various international and very different underground singers, whose listing here would clearly go beyond the scope. Sven D’Anna (Wizard), Elisa C. Martin (Ex-Dark Moor), Tann (Ironword), or Jiri “BiBoss” Valter (Root) should be known to some metalheads! Unfortunately, not all vocalists are equally good for my ears, some of them have a great nerve factor for me.The artwork by Felipe Machado Franco is breathtakingly beautiful and follows on from the first part where this artist was also active. Musically there is of course no happy-kitschy to symphonic "metal opera", but classic heavy / power metal with many voices complementing each other well. The entire production by Accept guitarist Uwe Lulis is earthy, not bloated and almost too old-fashioned for me. It's just a matter of taste but not bad! Apart from that, Lucid Dreaming Metal offers without kitsch, but with many singers and is the opposite of various lengthy “metal operas”. The songs themselves are between short & crisp and nine minutes, with “The Mirror” at the end, a 15-minute epic introduced by violins with lots of acoustic guitars as a conclusion. Four of the nine songs level off at the six-minute mark. The playing time of almost stereotypical 66.10 minutes can only be described as opulent.
