If anyone is in the mood for a Dracula rock opera concept album before Halloween. The whole thing is great.

This album is phenomenal. I love jorns voice aswell, super powerful.
If you like Dracula themed stuff have you heard Ad Infinitum - chapter 2 legacy album? The whole album is about Vlad the impaler and the myth surrounding Dracula, is very cleverly written but once you know the theme Ithe lyrics all come together so well across all the songs.
This one with Nils Molin is probably my favourite from the album. (Nils has such an awesome voice, his own band Dynazty are epic) https://youtu.be/tWeS36DWDcM?si=WlwLAn2ZhO8H660N
Let me know what you think.

Nice!
Hadn't heard the Ad Infinitum album, but just listened to it start to finish at work, probably not the most attentive way to listen but I enjoyed it. I'll have to listen to the lyrics better sometime when I'm not in a noisy shop.
I'll have to give Dynazty a listen soon too.

From Dynazty my favourites are :
Waterfall
Advent (this is just pure hair flailing fist pumping ace)
Yours. (This is lyrically beautiful).
Yeah the ad infinitum album is very cleverly constructed. Songs like inferno talk about what repercussions await Vlad the impaler for his actions. Animals addresses instinctual primal aggression and energy. And afterlife.... Afterlife is my favourite because it's just so cleverly constructed. The use of a harpsichord as an example instead of keyboard or piano makes gives the sound of that medieval period. You can almost hear one being played in Dracula's castle. They really thought about every element of that track (and all of them for sure, but this one really stands out to me). It's lyrically great, they keep the connections to Dracula vague enough that the song isn't too narrow on its application. Just awesome musicianship from all of them.
On the off chance someone from Ad Infinitum reads this. Thank you for that masterpiece of an album. You can have a bro fist from pub 👊
