Power-metal (Betrayal, Morpheus) and more pop driven rock (Rainy,
Consider It) - yet Shadrane’s own personality shines through all the
compositions. Lyrically the tracks don’t follow the story’s order; yet
the songs are inspired by the concept/story, but they’re not telling
every event in chronological order like a movie would do (for full
concept story see the official Shadrane or Lion Music websites). On the
album Vivien comments, “I’ve always been influenced by dramatic movies
and orchestral scores in general. I would make a movie out of the story
if I could. I was inspired by my grandparents’ tragic life when I wrote
it. I wanted to write an album about the stupidity of war, but also
love, grief, mourning and redemption. I believe that nothing last
forever, that “everything is temporal”. Not too happy, I admit, the
complete opposite of my debut “ONIRIC METAL” (released under the Lalu
moniker) where I stated that “love is eternal”. I have a totally
different state of mind today, than the day when I started to write the
concept/music. Many people around me (both family and friends) have
died during the making of the album and while there were bad times for
my wife and I, it made my brain work a lot. Fortunately, there was also
the birth of my daughter which happened during the production, so I
“brainstormed” even more. I guess all these things influenced the
compositions and the story writing (in many ways)”. BRIEF BAND BIOGRAPHY SHADRANE was founded by Vivien Lalu in the winter of 2001 after his former band MIND’S ORCHARD disbanded. At first the project was called KHARMA but it was quickly renamed due to numerous other bands using the same name. Ex-DREAMSCAPE’s singer and now solo artist Hubi Meisel kindly helped Vivien pick the name SHADRANE after the young keyboardist sent him a list of different names to choose from. Hubi also helped Vivien to prepare a couple of demos (“Neurastasia”) that he would send at labels, including drum tracks recorded by Anders Johansson (Hammerfall, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) who wanted to help Vivien as well. A deal was struck with Lion Music and the rest is history. Joop Wolters a long timer figure in Vivien musical output since 2002 was the natural choice to provide the bulk of the guitar work, with his place in the project becoming more important as time went on becoming Shadrane’s co-producer and writing 3 songs for the debut album: TEMPORAL. The Bissonette brothers joined later on in 2006 after being contacted by Viv’ to complete the line-up along with numerous guest vocalists. genre: Progressive Metal  ------------- http://www.zanzana.net" rel="nofollow - ZanZanA WebRadiO |
