A Dream Of Poe

“That holy dream - that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding.”
Edgar Allan Poe – A Dream

Born out of years of thoughts and despair, the music of A Dream of Poe built itself around the main carachter of this play – Spell – shaping both towards an unseen future of musical sorrow.

Since 2005 the Azorean landscape has been, from time to time, surrounded by novel music from this solo project. Delirium Tremens was the first adventure into the unknown, digging deeper into it..s creator..s soul and coming out with something new. A small demo, with just three tracks (one of wich was a cover from The Cure) was the hello ticket to a realm of doom. A new EP has been on the works since then, entitled Sorrow for the lost Lenore, with the release scheduled for 2009.

Even though this is a solo project, Spell has been accompanied by some guest musicians who have helped him to bring into this reality and life the musical poems he envisions.

Finally the time has come! “The Mirror of Deliverance” will be released on February 25th!
The album comes in a nice and good looking Digipack with a 12 page booklet. It features 6 songs and it will cost €11 with shipping included. The digipack was designed by Augusto Peixoto.

This first album was recorded between January and December 2010 and will be released by ARX Prod.

All instruments were recorded by me, the vocals were recorded by João Melo and lyrics written by Paulo Pacheco. In the making of this album I had help from several guest musicians, they were Nelson Félix and Paulo Bettencourt on solos and António Neves and Paulo Pacheco on additional vocals.

As you can see the new design is now online, it still needs some tweaks here and there but it’s pretty much completed, also, I have uploaded a 30 second sample from each song (except Lady of Shalott) to our player so you can have a sneak peek of the album.

The track list for this album is:

Neophyte
Os Vultos
Lady of Shalott
Liber XLIX
The Lost King of the Lyre
Chrysopoeia


See you on February 25th!
