Each week, we will be featuring a new album. Our goal is to introduce people to new music and help promote musicians.

This weeks Featured Album is:
Liod by Helium Vola

With a total of 20 tracks (including 4 instrumental interludes), “Liod” (ancient German for “Song”) offers an assortment of beautiful tracks that are more “song-like” than their tracks on their debut album, “Helium Vola.” The music to each track, except one, was written by Ernst Horn (Deine Lakaien and early-Qntal). Lyrics are traditional in nature, except one, which is in Italian and was also written by Ernst Horn. “Liod” comes with quite surprising and shocking artwork by Tim Becker that stands in an extreme contrast to the mostly vromantic, melodic, and somber songs on the album. Lead vocals on most tracks are again by classically trained singer Sabine Lutzenberger, and many tracks contain additional female and male vocals. Once again, Horn has composed music with strong roots in the medieval past, but that is interwoven with the technology and sounds of the 21st Century. “Liod” is a true masterpiece of art surpassing even the highest expectations. On Chrom.
