Lieder Distortion, hailing from Sweden, introduces their newest work, "The Age of Art," released under Shunu Records on the 22nd of September, 2023. The album, available in digital format, is a humble yet earnest exploration of Progressive Rock and Opera, genres that are distinct yet harmoniously blended in this collection. The inception of the album can be traced back to the band’s affinity for "Don Giovanni," which is not only a favorite but also a significant influence, echoing in the powerful music and themes throughout the album. Each piece in "The Age of Art" is a nod to the classical repertoire that Lieder Distortion was immersed in during their time at the Opera College, reflecting a journey that traversed through the realms of band performances and operatic studies. The fusion of genres is a delicate balance, drawing inspiration from diverse musical landscapes, reminiscent of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and the timeless compositions of Mozart. While Lieder Distortion has been playing in bands since the tender age of 10, the venture into this album has been a realization of a covert dream, a narrative crafted alongside dedicated musicians and producers. The project is a sincere attempt to contribute to the musical tapestry, inviting listeners who find solace in the works of Therion, Queen, Classical Music, Tarja Turunen, and Mozart, to experience a modest yet heartfelt musical journey. |
