The album was released on June 4th in Europe and will be released June 22nd in North America via Frontiers Records.
According to a press release, The Seraphic Clockwork is a fascinating concept album, which not only shows the quintet’s exceptional technical skills, but also highlights their impressive development as songwriters. The new album sounds more multi-layered, progressive and metal-oriented than any previous Vanden Plas release.
“I think that my penchant for
music of the tougher persuasion shines through more than ever before on this album,” comments guitarist
Stephan Lill, who – together with keyboardist Günter Werno and vocalist
Andy Kuntz – make up the group’s creative triumvirate.
He adds: “Hard riffs, elaborate keyboard and orchestral arrangements plus catchy hooklines come together in a perfect symbiosis which marks
Vanden Plas’ own style. I feel that we were much more adventurous on with The Seraphic Clockwork than ever before.”
The Seraphic Clockwork includes the following tracks:
'Frequency'
'Holes In The Sky' 'Scar Of An Angel'
'Sound Of Blood'
'The Final Murder'
'Quicksilver'
'Rush Of Silence'
'On My Way To Jerusalem' Further updates to follow. More on Vanden Plas at
