‘From
the Ashes…’ is the stunning
debut album from Sphere of Souls, a new
band that is already being described as
the ultimate amalgamation of Dutch prog-metal
talent.
Sphere
of Souls features ex-Sun Caged members André
Vuurboom (vocals) and Joost van den Broek
(keyboards), who also handled production
duties. Former Autumn Equinox bassist Kees
Harrison and drummer Ruud van Diepen create
the powerful backbone of the band, whilst
rhythm guitar duties are handled by former
Imperium guitarist Rob Cerrone. Lead guitar
work is courtesy of virtuoso Anand Mahangoe.
‘From
the Ashes…’ is an album of a
conceptual nature, featuring thirteen tracks
ranging from the heavy to the atmospheric.
Fans of the band members’ previous
bands will not be disappointed at the music
contained within, yet they will also hear
a new sound that is unique to the band.
In
November 2005 Sphere of Souls signed an
international record deal with Lion Music,
who will release ‘From the Ashes…’
on Friday, 21 April 2006.
