Arthur Mountaniol - All instruments and vocals
Description/Reviews:
Arthur Mountaniol's new album "Kingdom of Distorted Mirrors" can be described either as a tribute to the 70's art rock or a revival of those great traditions in rock music today only with a modern twist.
This album is compiled of Arthur Mountaniol's old material, some of which he had composed approximately 30 years ago. From 1985 to 1988, he has been perfoming this music with his former Russian legendary avant-garde rock band "The Moon Pierrot" (Лунный Пьеро).
This album has 7 songs and 4 instrumentals. The songs are theatrical and visionary, creating bizarre images and stories filled with a medieval spirit and powered by Mountaniol's ingenious guitar work and diverse vocal styles. The music range in the instrumental pieces is quite extensive as well. For example "Procession of Chimeras" sounds like a serious music piece from some classic ballet. And another instrumental number "The invincible & Victorious" has a definite Italian music roots.
There are 2 bonus tracks on this album as well: Goblins' Train & Wish I Could - these are the new versions of the songs from Arthur Mountaniol's previous albums "Tails of the Cloven Hoof" & "Master of Ecstasy".
