The Dark Tenor celebrates their anniversary with “Album X”.

Behind the project Dark tenor He is Billy Andrews from Austria. Since you’re at the intersection, you can look forward to unusual versions of famous Beethoven or other classical and pop composers. Particular emphasis was placed on the atmospheric staging of the tenor.

The beginning is very melodic with “Indestructible”, while it becomes more powerful after that. “Rise” was recorded with Eklipse. An encouraging song that goes straight into your ear canals. The following entry is perhaps Beethoven’s most famous piece. “The Joy of the Gods’ Beautiful Sparks” has long been a cultural asset. The new verses seem strange at first, but that feeling changes after a few listens. Well suited to radio and a good choice as a single, as a wider fan base is likely to form here. “Nessun Dorma” is probably one of the epic compositions that many musicians have already tried. There is also a version of Manowar who wanted to translate this amazing composition into metal. The Dark Tenor doesn’t stray too far from the original, giving the piece the epic feel it needs and not sliding into a hackneyed cover version.

“Paradox” then gets to the heart of the project’s original mission. Classic sounds with mid-tempo beats create a crossover that could have been a little bolder. Time will tell if they actually did themselves a favor with their “Last Resort” cover. Unfortunately, it lacks the positive aggression that this track simply needs, and unfortunately the enthusiastic orchestra doesn’t change that. “Call On Me” fits much better, as Billy can shine here with his classic vocal training.

Tenth album It’s worth it for newcomers, because this is where the previous work of… Dark tenors taken into consideration. A good cross-section of individual albums that find their essence in ‘Album X’. For friends of unusual crossovers and classical music lovers who want to experience famous compositions in a contemporary form.
