Following
swiftly on the back of 2006’s lavishly acclaimed
‘Walking On H2O’, Swedish progressive metal
masterminds MIND’S EYE return with their
most ambitious and accessible album to date
in “A Gentleman’s Hurricane”. Taking their
musical and lyrical vision another step
on, the band has delivered the world’s first
cinematic metal triple pack consisting of
CD / Comic Book and ‘making of DVD’ which
portrays the bands latest concept:
In a dark and foggy day in September, three shots
are heard in the deep dark woods of “The
Mother Of Presidents” state of Virginia.
Adam Evangelista, a 53 year old top assassin
whose ice cold walls have now been worn
down by his continuing growing guilt, searches
for an answer to it all. Acknowledging that
he can’t continue without finding a way
to ease his mind, he seeks refuge at the
town’s church where Adam meets the now retired
head priest Father Cavallero Di Mori, coincidently
visiting his old church and parish. Adam
tries to get into the depths of his own
disturbed but genius mind. Describing his
life and assassinations for his new friend
Father Cavallero during sessions of confessions,
both men reveal deep secrets unknown to
the outside world - dark secrets they are
both ashamed of. Adam’s sins and stories
stretch from Sweden, Ireland, Italy, France,
to the former USSR , Mexico and the USA.
Taking orders from the well known secret
society ‘The Illuminati’, Adam’s “marks”
are some of the most important people in
our time. But there is a catch; only seven
days to poor his heart out before his very
last job and time is running out. Twelve Murders in Seven days. So little
time… So much to tell…
“A Gentleman’s Hurricane” is a musically and lyrically
rich affair offering a quality of storytelling
not heard on a concept album since Queensr˙che’s
1988 classic “Operation: Mindcrime”. “A
Gentleman’s Hurricane” showcases delicious
vocal melodies over rich infectious musical
hooks which will appeal to fans from all
corners of the rock/metal market. Each track
makes an equally strong statement as a single
entity as when heard in context of the story.
The Swedish power trio of Andreas Novak (vocals), Johan
Niemann (bass, guitars) and Daniel Flores
(drums, keyboards, executive producer) have
delivered a truly dazzling album that is
set to beat the lavish critical acclaimed
garnered by “Walking On H2O”. “A Gentleman’s
Hurricane” album artwork and comic book
have been produced by leading graphic artist
Mattias Norén visualising the concept and
music written by Daniel Flores adding further
flair and depth to the story.
Additionally the band have produced their first promotional
video for the track “Feed My Revolver” (produced
by Fredrik Englund and Viktor Blanke of
AWOL) which features stunning visualisation
depicting the story of Adam Evangelista
in the lead up, execution and aftermath
of one of his key “marks”. The promotional
video clip is highly original and has caused
a tremendous response since its appearance
on the bands myspace profile (www.myspace.com/eyeofthemind)
in May 2007. This clip can be seen on the
accompanying “Making of A Gentleman’s Hurricane’
DVD (offered in PAL and NTSC formats which
offers an insight into the production and
writing of the new Mind’s Eye masterwork.
