All Hallows Eve
All Hallows Eve
I’m really enthusiastic
about this new project; All Hallows Eve is here with this amazingly
well-done blend of Gothic Rock and Dark Wave. This project was
founded by Tom O'Connell (Ex-Garden Of Delight) and Lars Kappeler
(Sweet Ermengarde), Mike Shaw joined with them some time later. This
idea evolved and now All Hallows Eve is a big collaborative
project; you can find in their guest list to the following names:
Ashley Dayour, Marion Küchenmeister, Mike York, Rachel Speight, Tim
Chandler, Bianca Stücker, and Jörg Kleudgen. They are experienced
and talented artists, and the result is pretty interesting.
The very experienced musician and co-founder,
Tom O'Connell stated the following: “We're not a "real"
band. We're a project of different musicians from Germany, UK and
over Europe, but based in Cologne / Bochum - Germany. It's a gift for
me to make music with all that musicians I ever want to make music
with, so we're open minded for many kinds of influences and people
who want to make music with us.”
Big collaborative projects like this one are
really interesting, because of the combination of different artistic
visions and influences. I’m pretty sure that the result will be
very interesting in the future; in the meantime here’s this first
single featuring three mixes of “All Hallows Eve” and the “B
side”: “Morning Glory” The first mix of “All Hallows Eve” is
some very tasteful Gothic Rock with elegant Dark Wave textures and
synths, it has great quality and is so catchy. The second mix is
First-class Traditional Gothic Rock, with great guitars. The third
mix is stunning and it sounds really powerful. “Morning Glory” is
so relaxing and has atmosphere, the arrangement is very detailed
here.
Really looking forward to the next release of
All Hallows Eve, definitely I want to listen more of them.
