The Ferryman's Eyes - Jeremy Lawler's Winter's Edge

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 Severed Gates

“It’s all about the music and the fans”

– Jeremy Lawler, Winter’s Edge

The news of exciting new metal project Jeremy Lawler’s Winter’s Edge is taking the internet by storm.

“It’s my solo project. Genre wise it’s hard to nail it down to just one, so I’ve ended up nailing it down to progressive/melodic/power metal.” Jeremy explains. “It will feature Mask Of Judas guitarist Sam Bell, Seventh Seeker drummer Selina Robinson and Dominic Upton from Noizy Toyz. The list goes on.”

As well as showcasing and promoting the guest musicians work, it will give us a chance to see Jeremy’s composing skills in action.

“I want to include my own sound in there and help promote the guest musicians as well so we’re kind of like a family.” Jeremy goes on to say. “I find when I’m writing a song you have to like it yourself before you know if anyone else will like it.”

From this interview I had with Jeremy I can safely say that I am more excited about this project.
