Dear ELOY friends,
On 23 June 2023,
»Echoes from the Past«
will be released simultaneously worldwide. It is the last part of a unique opus magnum by ELOY, a band regarded as legendary both in Germany and on the international stage.
Like its two chart-topping predecessors »The Vision, the Sword & the Pyre Parts I and II«,
»Echoes from the Past«
was composed, written and produced by the band's mastermind, singer and guitarist Frank Bornemann. Since founding the band more than 50 years ago, he has continued to shape
it into an internationally successful and acclaimed act with an ever-changing line-up.
ECHOES FROM THE PAST
Preorder now >>>
Large concept albums with varying profound and esoteric themes and powerful, atmospheric soundscapes have always been a trademark of ELOY. But the current,
3-album work, which Frank Bornemann spent a proud 8 years working on as author and director, breaks all previous dimensions. He explains:
»This album trilogy was conceived and designed from the outset not only as a purely musical work, but as a ‘Spectacle Musical’. This is more akin to
a rock opera, although it dispenses with the sung dialogue used in classical opera or Comédie Musicales. The words are spoken by actors like a theatre performance.
Thematically, my work is dedicated to the fateful life and deeds of Joan of Arc. The legendary young French heroine from the Middle Ages fought for the freedom
of her country, led an army into battle, and was tragically put to death at the stake. Nowadays she is revered as a saint and represents a unique historical figure who still
fascinates people, and certainly captivated me.«
Warm regards
Your
ELOY-Team
