Welcome to the world of Lipshok where magic is real, traveling to alternate dimensions is possible, the wind carries messages for the future, and mythical creatures roam the earth. This is their newest CD Shadows Of A Dark Heart in a nutshell. This music will take you away from reality and bring you a new reality. The songs are intense and compelling with rich stories and incredible harmonies and haunting melodies.
The music is gothic hard rock, symphonic metal, and alternative combined. You will be transported to another world listening to Looking Glass, an update on Alice and Wonderland, And So He’ll Fly the story of Icarus and his deadly mistake, Alive Once More the musings of a vampire, and Answer The Call a political take on people seeking help in a tough year. Along with those songs is Without A Flame, Revenge, Unknown and Don’t Fear Defeat continuing to tell the fables.
All the songs are written by vocalist/keyboardist Scarlett Dark. Along with Scarlett is Massimiliano Maggiari on guitar, Phil Jameson on bass and Joe Londeree on drums.
