Description/Reviews:

With this third work, Archangel evolves and further changes his style: while still being influenced by Genesis, especially from the "A Trick of the Tail" era, it also takes inspiration from Alan Parsons Project and Mike Oldfield in terms of production and sound atmosphere. "Third Warning" is therefore a mature and well thought-out work, balanced between the classic progressive rock nostalgia and more modern and immediate music ideas and solutions.

Description/Reviews

This time Archangel shifts his musical style from the hard-progressive-folk of the first album to a new kind of gothic-prog rock with reference to gothic-metal and to the new wave of the 80’s.
Tales of Love and Blood is not a concept album even though a general theme surfaces every song which are gathered in three greater suites: Countess Báthory Suite (tracks 1- 4, based on the dramatic story of Countess Elizabeth Báthory), The Following Suite (track 5, a classic horror tale based on a Necromancer and his follower) and Love and Blood Suite (tracks 6-8, ghost stories full of melancholy and nostalgia). 

Two important cover songs are nestled like precious gems inside the plot: “Nosferatu” by the seminal and mystic hard rock masters Blue Oyster Cult and “My Only Love” from the refined British heroes Roxy Music. A third and totally reworked cover is set at the end of the work like a bonus track since it eludes the general theme of the album: “Wheels of Confusion” from the metal pioneers Black Sabbath.

 In few words, Tales of Love and Blood is a gothic journey inside a progressive soul.
