\u201cDOOM LADEN PROGRESSIVE WALL OF METAL\u201d!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sounds like the perfect definition of ARDUINI \/ BALICH<\/strong>\u2019s debut album \u201cDawn of Ages<\/strong>\u201d which will be released on Cruz Del Sur Music on Feb 24, 2017.<\/p>\n

ARDUINI\/BALICH<\/strong> is the result of two very powerful figures in their own right of the metal scene. VICTOR ARDUINI<\/strong> needs no introduction being one of the founding members of FATES WARNING<\/strong>, same can be said for BRIAN \u201cBUTCH\u201d BALICH<\/strong>, the mighty voice of ARGUS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThe story goes back in time to the end of 2013 when Arduini put a final word to his experience with FREEDOMS REIGN<\/strong>. Victor needed more freedom to express his creativity, feeling his ideas weren\u2019t much fitting into the style of FR anymore. \u201cAt that time I was at a creative peak. It seemed like I wrote new riffs every day which seemed heavier and darker than anything I’ve done before. They were becoming more intricate and challenging which fueled my passion to see how far I could take them. I was really close to the whole process and soon realized it had to be a project where I could have complete artistic control and produce an album that represented who I am as an artist, guitarist and musician.\u201d<\/em>(Victor Arduini<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n

In search of musicians who could get along with this challenge, Victor recruited Freedoms Reign\u2019s drummer Chris Judge<\/strong> and was on the lookout for a singer when his path crossed with Butch who had recently shared stages with him. \u201cI truly feel Brian\u2019s vocals are some of the best he’s ever done. It’s like when Dio went from Rainbow to Sabbath. Same voice but new music around it inspired new melodies and gave a different presentation. While it took longer than both of us expected for many reasons we reached the finish line and are both very proud of the music and our collaboration together. It is truly a joint collaboration and we hope our fans will enjoy what they hear.\u201d<\/em>(Victor Arduini<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n

\u201cDawn Of Ages\u201d is one of the most ambitious records ever released on Cruz Del Sur Music<\/strong>.
\nA monumental piece of music on the level of WHILE HEAVEN WEPT or ATLANTEAN KODEX\u2019s releases (to name two Cruz Del Sur recording artists). A rollercoaster of emotions, an album that captures the collisions of two worlds, progressive and doom. The final result is a really amazing journey inside human soul. Through six original compositions that last for more than an hour, the audience will be captured and hypnotized by the eclectically familiar Victor\u2019s guitar melodies empowered by Butch\u2019s passionate interpretation.
\nIndeed \u201cDawn of Ages\u201d is an album that could have been easily recorded in the mid\/late 70s for the total dedication that transpires through each and every note of it. It is not an album that wants to please any old or new trend in metal, rather an intimate expression of two musicians who have always put their passion for heavy music before anything else.
\n\u201cDawn Of Ages\u201d will be released in a deluxe 6-panel digipack<\/strong> embellished by a wonderful, original Michael Cowell<\/strong>\u2019s (Alunah) artwork.
\nThe vinyl version will be released in a gatefold colored vinyl double LP with three incredible cover songs as a bonus.<\/strong> URIAH HEEP<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cSunrise\u201d, BEAU BRUMMELS<\/strong>\u2019 \u201cWolf Of Velvet Fortune\u201d and BLACK SABBATH<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cAfter All (The Dead) .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
