Album: Jeremias - Foreshadow of Forgotten Realms (2013)
Genre: Prog Rock (Symphonic/Rock Opera/Crossover) / Austria
A progressive rock opera for the 21st Century: Circle of Illusion presents an epic concept album with almost 80 minutes of prog rock with a Hollywood widescreen sound. After four years of hard work, the Austrian symphonic progressive rock octet is about to release its debut album "Jeremias - Foreshadow of Forgotten Realms". While keyboardist Gerald Peter composed, arranged and produced the complete music of the album, lyricist and vocalist Taris Brown developed the dramatic concept about Jeremy, who's caught in a dream world. They gathered excellent musicians to bring the work onto CD as well as onto the stage. Brown himself plays the eponymous Jeremy, the female leads were handled by Cara Cole (as the mysterious Jelena) and Elga Shafran (as Jeremy's wife Sarah). Musically, the album features progressive rock without regard for genre boundaries: The album combines sweeping song structures, driving guitar riffs, virtuosic keyboard lines with a hint of fusion and lots of intricate rhythms with film score-like symphonic elements as well as styles like funk and soul. Gerald Peter (keys, composition, arrangement, production); Rupert Träxler (guitars); Aaron Thier (drums); Stephan Först (bass); Taris Brown (vocals, lyrics); Elga Shafran (vocals); Cara Cole (vocals); Ulrike Müllner (violin) (www.circleofillusion.com)
