fourth album: “amenti´s coin – the secret place pt. II” (2022)
brand new album by CYRIL is another concept album again ( lyrics were / the story was written by Guy Manning as well) – this time the second part of the “secret place” story ( pt. I was the longtrack on album “paralyzed” ). Maybe CYRIL´s best album so far?
Debut concept album “gone through years” – released in April 2013 at german “progressive promotion records”, which is already one of the leading label for progressive rock music. This album is thematically based on the story of the book ” the time machine” of H.G.Wells.
Musically it features great melodies and vocal arrangements, and even the music works with some “additional” progressive time signatures and harmonic structures, its clearly focussed on the “songs”.
Beside singer Larry B. it features Manuel Schmid ( as Hologram ), Amelie Hofmann ( as Alice ) and Saskia Brödel on additional vocals.
