Today is the day the album The Ferryman’s
Eyes hits the online retailers i.e. Amazon and iTunes. This album is by metal
project Jeremy Lawler’s Winter’s Edge; it’s an album like no other and here’s
why you should listen to it.
Atmospheric opening
track From Death I Come sets the mood of the album perfectly; mysterious and
aloof encouraging the listener to find out more about this projects sound. As
the album progresses I am reminded of Avantasia as the songs feature guest
musicians making the tracks sound very dramatic, the fact it’s a concept album
about the story of The Ferryman’s Life and the melodies are quite similar.
My personal
favourite tracks on the album are Fallen and
Foresee Me And Dream; I believe these
are the albums strongest tracks as they give us a taste of the band’s sound in
general. Fallen shows off vocalists ability perfectly and the melody is well
arranged and written. Foresee Me And
Dream reminds me of Avantastia’s Dying For An Angel; I particularly like
the keyboard solos in the track.
It finishes with the
almighty Beyond The Severed Gates
that leaves the listener wanting more.
After listening to
the album I can definitely say it will open doors not just for the guest
musicians on the album but also for composer and project leader/composer Jeremy
Lawler himself.
Stand out tracks: Fallen, Foresee Me And Dream and Beyond The
