Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

After 15 years and 10 albums as guitarist, producer and composer for the German heavy metal institution Rage, and with hits penned by him like ‘Down’, ‘Soundchaser’, ‘War Of Worlds’, ‘Straight To Hell’ (well-known from the German blockbuster movie Manitou’s Shoe), ‘Carved In Stone’, ‘Forever Dead’, ‘Empty Hollow’ and ‘Cleansed By Fire’, Victor Smolski now continues his musical career with his new group Almanac featuring a line-up of bass player Armin Alic, drummer Michael Kolar and keyboardist Enric Garcia. Two high-class singers David Readman (Pink Cream 69) and Andy B. Franck (Brainstorm) complete the extremely prominent line-up. Tsar is a new, exciting, and very interesting chapter. Traditional metal in conjunction with classical music, world music and elements of Russian folklore with a modern sound all make Almanac a compelling and absolute listening experience.
