HERR | Vondel's Lucifer - First Movement
Taken from the Dutch playwright's seventeenth-century
opus, 'Lucifer', this eagerly-awaited release tells of heavenly discontent
amid a jealous tale of angelic rebellion in the face of God's love for
humankind. Containing both half-sung and spoken vocals, an ever so gentle
folk-like melody, baroque composition, rich musical arrangement and the
kind of indomitable spirit and literary tradition that only a group like
H.E.R.R. can render in such a magnificent cultural style, this album introduces
the first three acts in 75 bombastic minutes. An illustrious cast includes
Richard Leviathan (Ostara), Dev (While Angels Watch), Holger F. (Belborn),
Cornelius Mikael Waldner (Sagittarius) and Maria Southgate (HERR/Survival
Unit). Now, awake the stars from their harmonious peace and let the battle
commence!
