Bloody Idol Unleashes Epic Concept Album The Last Crusader This October
Prepare for an unforgettable musical journey as Bloody Idol announces the release of their highly anticipated concept album, The Last Crusader, set to drop in October 2024. Blending the intense sounds of power metal, epic metal, and speed metal, this album is a must-listen for fans of Gamma Ray, Manowar, and Virgin Steele.
The Last Crusader tells the gripping story of a European farmer who leaves his homeland in search of fortune and glory, embarking on a medieval crusade. Through various chapters, the narrative unfolds, illustrating a tale filled with loss, promises, suffering, and introspection. As the protagonist spirals into madness, he imagines himself as the last crusader defending the Holy Land. This powerful narrative serves as a metaphor for the struggles of modern man, allowing listeners to connect with the emotions and experiences presented in each track.
The album is the brainchild of Joey Mauro, a seasoned keyboardist and composer known for his work with the legendary Italian prog band Hunka Munka, with over three decades of experience in pop and rock music. The project boasts an impressive lineup of talented musicians, including:
Gianluca Quinto (Solisia, DeLa Muerte) – Guitars
Marcantonio Quinto (Solisia, Hunka Munka) – Drums
Andrea Arcangeli (DGM, Timo Tolkki) – Bass
Ilaria Bernardini (Rossometile) – Backing Vocals
The vocal parts feature an array of powerful performances from four different singers, enhancing the album’s dynamic sound:
Wild Steel (Shadows of Steel, Gabriels, Oracle Sun, Wild Steel)
Terence Holler (ex-Eldritch, Holler)
Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth, Ken Hensley, New Trolls)
Dario Grillo (Thy Majestie, Platens, Gabriels, Nightblaze)
Featuring 12 original tracks infused with heavy rock, neoclassical, symphonic, and gothic elements, The Last Crusader promises to captivate not only metal enthusiasts but also fans of modern music genres.
Bloody Idol invites you to embark on this epic adventure and experience the powerful storytelling and musical craftsmanship that The Last Crusader offers.
