Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover and 5 bonus tracks. Limited 400 numbered copies

Elegys seventh album Principles Of Pain was the first Elegy album to be fully produced by Ian Perry. Principles Of Pain was technical in a progressive power metal style, containing 2 ballads, 2 Neo-Classical up-tempo double bass drum tracks, and many mid-tempo melodic metal tracks, with catchy chorus lines. Much to the fans surprise Missing Persons features former vocalist Eduard Hovinga in duet with Parry. Its an action packed metal album bursting with musical craftsmanship and extraordinary songwriting, and perhaps one of metals most underrated albums of the last decade. After receiving rave reviews worldwide, Elegy were invited to play at the Rock Machina festival 2002 in Spain, performing for more than 10,000 fans. Later in 2003 Elegy made its debut in the USA playing at the Brave Words magazine festival in Cleveland Ohio. Over the years Elegy managed to grow and refresh, crystallizing their direction, getting more complex without losing sight. Even though the music is packed with breathtaking breaks and high speed guitar outbursts, the song always came first. Recognizable and well arranged.
