Insane symphonic Black Metal composed on guitar synthesizer!

File under: Metal/Outsider/Indie

Shevalreq's "Tournament at Constantinople" features growled vocals accompanied by the sounds of World Music instruments such as Indian tablas and sitars, Chinese erhu violins and zheng zithers, Indonesian gamelon as well as western orchestral instruments. Fourteen songs based on the 15th Century medieval poem "Orlando Inamorato" by Matteo Boiardo{1434-94}, a tale of chivalry about valiant knights who become enchanted by a beautiful damsel.

"Cyclops Records is quickly becoming the most talked about label of the infinitely bizarre. Shevalreq intensify the stunned reactions, creating
a fusion of black metal (and mainly vocals at that!) with world music created by guitar synthesizer. Lyrics? Based on a 15th Century poem."
