Emerging from a divergent musical path, Scott Michaels presents his latest work, the dark classical album titled 'Ex Tenebris'. For those who resonate with the evocative strains of Arnold Schoenberg, Joseph Bashara, Olivier Messiaen, and other avant-garde cinematic composers, this offering promises a deep dive into sonic shadows and melancholy. Previously known for his work with Virgin Idol and his recent stint with thrash metal band Sepulchra, Michaels has crafted a soundscape distinct from his earlier contributions. This release will guide listeners through the profound depths of despair and darkness. It draws thematic inspiration from Anatole France's literary work "La Révolte des Anges" (The Revolt of the Angels). Lending ethereal dimensions to the album is Gabriella Naashiif, with her mesmerizing operatic and middle-eastern vocal melodies. Meanwhile, Michaels showcases his versatility, performing all string accompaniments—including the Erhu, Guitar Viol, Cello, and more. He also skillfully integrates synthetic midi elements into the mix. While the digital rendition of 'Ex Tenebris' was unveiled just weeks ago, aficionados of physical albums can anticipate its availability on Bandcamp by week's end. And for those hungry for more, Michaels has teased that a second album is already in the works. In reflecting upon this creation, Scott comments, "For fans of meticulously crafted dark classical and cinematic music, 'Ex Tenebris' aims to be an entrancing odyssey." Stay Connected:
