There is a light within the dark Album review of
“Dark Symphony”
by Le Reverie
Joseph Timmons: Xombiewoof Magazine
Le Reverie *re-ve-ri+ - a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful
musing (www.dictionary.com).
There are albums with dark and gothic themes that speak of
the deep hidden parts of one’s soul that is to be forgotten.
Musical troubadours, who portray themselves as shadows
that walk among us, detached voices to revile in our miseries
or expose our sorrows. All too often they are nothing more
than shock value visuals, costumes and forced dissonance that
falls short of true talent and poetic verse.
I received Dark Symphony and found this collection of work to
be a truly magnificent gem of musical composition . Le Reverie
has taken traditional rock, gothic music, progressive metal,
and classical symphonic stylings, and blended it into a perfect
creation of emotionally stirring music.
The vocalist for the group, Allie Jorgen, has a classically trained
voice taken to the limits. Allie gives a wonderfully sparkling
performance in this album, bringing you spellbinding imagery
in song that are as a siren’s call that draws ships in to the rocks
on a merciless sea. She creates a vision within the music, her
voice, which like a well-tuned instrument, resonates true. Eve-
rything blends together wonderfully. Well balanced and well
mixed, this album shows the skills and talents of the artists
involved.
This album with it’s strong hard rock tones, the non-traditional
styling of gothic and progressive metal, is drawn in classical
overtones creating a whirlwind of emotion . The performance
value hits critical mass. I feel “Dark Symphony”, is a collection
of songs that are introspective, soul-binding and hypnotic, this
is actually an awakening, drawing from the darkness the seeds
of life, giving the listener the feeling that, even things seem its
darkest, there is hope.
If you are a fan of soundscapes, and you like albums that are
themed (even though this does not appear to be a theme col-
lection), this will delight you.
Included in the album is a performance DVD; it was fabulous.
The imagery, the vision, the music are just amazing. I would
say Le Reverie is definitely a band to watch, so if you have an
opportunity to see them live, do so. “Dark Symphony” is defi-
nitely an album for your collection.
Some of the song titles that I found most enchanting are “Dark
Symphony,” ‘Ghost of You,” “Hall of Mirrors,” “Dark Secrets”
and, especially, “Truth and Lies.” This song really hit home.
The vocalist has a rich passion to her voice, and it comes out
through the music.
Speaking of the music itself… the guitars by Jeff Mallow and
the bass guitar by Daniele De Cario have definitely created a
musical masterpiece. The rhythms of the drums by Roc Boyum
have impeccable timing. This man knows how to play drums,
and he plays them well. Speaking as a drummer, I found my-
self tapping along and trying to keep up with him, - the man is
a whirlwind. In addition, the highlighted pieces by the key-
boardist Erwin Khachikian and the mysterious OG playing pi-
ano and keyboards fit in the scape perfectly.
I would say that this album has the potential of being the cor-
nerstone of this group’s career.
Al reviews of this band and their album have a common and
universal message: Le Reverie has an extreme and highly val-
ued talent, and this album is the one that you have to have.
