It will be a release in high-quality 3-CD box / Artbook in LP format including the complete story, as well as…
…the usual digipack (which matches the first parts).
Look forward to an exciting, wild journey with us through the themes of the captivating story about a family, strongly influenced by religious fanaticism, through the ages, implemented with great characters, singers and instrumentalists, also a musical journey through styles and times…
Already in 2011, the highly praised first part (“The?BOOK”) of the total work of art was published, consisting of a profound, critical story about religious fanaticism by Thoralf Koß – provided with a complete storybook by the American author George Andrade – and the multi-layered musical implementation, almost in the form of a “rock Opera”, in the field of tension from art rock to progressive metal.
The second part followed in 2019 with “THE?LIE”, the hardest part of the concept both musically and lyrically.
With “THE?TRUTH” we now conclude, 15 years after work began, with the most stylistically varied part, the story about Samuel and his father, a real firework of musical ideas, exciting arrangements and a total of 12 characters/singers, including like this well-known guests such as Peter Jones (Camel, Tiger Moth Tales), Manuel Schmid (Stern Combo Meissen), Larry B. (Toxic Smile), Elisabeth Markstein (Alphaville) and musicians such as Thomas Klarmann (ARGOS). Mix and master come from Martin Schnella again.
“The?Truth” will be released on May 21, 2024 by Progressive Promotion Records not only on CD as usual – the trilogy will also be published as an elaborate “art book” in vinyl format with all 3 albums on CD as well as a complete, extensive, printed story including song lyrics become.
The pre-order starts now – of course, those who pre-order will also have the usual story-related “gimmick” for the third part.
