THE PIPER NEVER DIES
Los alemanes
Edguy no necesitan de presentación alguna, en gran parte gracias a su
carismático líder Tobias Sammet. El inquieto cantante ha creado aparte
del material de su banda madre algun que otro proyecto y colaboración
que le ha dado tanta fama si no más que con Edguy, evidentemente me
refiero a Avantasia. Pero centrémonos en la banda con la que empezó.
Edguy nace a comienzos de los noventa viendo realizadas sus primeras
demos en 1994. Desde 1995 comenzaron su aventura con discos de estudio y
desde entonces han sacado 11 discos de un power metal de impecable
factura. En el momento de surgimiento de la banda los chicos aún estaban
en el instituto y contaban con apenas 15 años y quizás por ello tengan
ese toque irreverente que se les nota en muchas ocasiones en sus letras y
sobre todo en sus videoclips. En 1998 la banda da un paso adelante con
las primeras colaboraciones de nada menos que Timo Tolkki de
Stratovarius, quien también produjo el disco y de Hansi kursch de Blind
Guardian, lo que quizás sembró la semilla en la cabeza de Sammet para la
futura realización de Avantasia. Desde el Vain glory opera de 1998 todo
fue en ascenso en calidad y éxito hasta llegar a ser una de las bandas
más importantes a nivel internacional dentro del género. Hoy quiero hablar de su sexta obra de estudio, "Hellfire club", de 2004, un disco que graban tras las exitosas aventuras fuera de Edguy de Tobias Sammet con Avantasia. Es un disco en el que quizás la banda, en concreto Tobias parece más centrado con Edguy, y se nota en el resultado final, es un disco bien perfilado que cuenta con un ligero cambio en el sonido tradicional del grupo, y que además es apoyado por la "Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg Orchestra". Hoy quiero dejar en el blog un tema de este disco, en concreto su "The piper never dies"n un largo tema de 10 minutos que sin embrago resulta fácilmente digerible, que ya desde el comienzo te engancha con su calmado inicio que promete un cambio inminente, y efectivamente desemboca en un sonido más potente, que vuelve a descender a medio tiempo para poco a poco engancharnos con un progresivo aumento de potencia y un pegadizo estribillo marca de la casa. Una canción de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Oh Yeah...
Thirsting for salvation
You're off to find the stairway
Novice on your never ending ride
Whatever you may find dare to take it higher
Here's your instigation on your trip into the light
Standing at the temple
Where the wizard shall arise
You listen to the beauty of a song
A melody of promise calling from the dark
Tear down the portal and then go on and
Come and fly away with me
And your eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire - do you feel me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don't be afraid to give in
And ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Entites are screaming, enticing from inside
Creatures you had never ever seen
And on the back of houghtiness
You leave into the light
The spirit on a mission in the shell of a beast
The ferryman is gentle
And promises are made
The other side may hold a lot to see
He's gonna take you over
And then he'll name the fare
Oh you gamble with the devil, fool
The ferryman is me
Come and fly away...
Balance on the edge of day and night
Not afraid of falling
Time has come to see all wrong from right
Something's calling
Heaven and hell is it all the same
And just a different grade
Now I gotta know the point of change
Where live turns to hate
Balance on the edge of day and night
Dive into the haze and kiss the light
Many of the tales you've been told
Never written for the brave and bold
Come and take my hand tonight
Come and sleep with me tonight
Certainly I'm gonna take you there
Showing you around everywhere
Oh...
Do you belive that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Do you belive that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer...
Ride into the shadows... You go on - into the night
Alright, the piper never dies, I got you hypnotised
Come with me and witness, see Babylon arise
The whore is fading light, let us step inside
O got you paralysed child, the piper never dies
The pied piper plays the song, beatiful but strong
He was never born, never he'll be gone
Oh the pied piper never dies
He never dies, never dies...
