The masters of heavy rock operas are back. Vanden Plas, from the city of Kaiserslautern, Germany, have been steadily grabbing dully deserved attention of late with their unique theatrical approach to music applied to progressive power metal. It has been 4 years already since they released the addictive concept album The Seraphic Clockwork. They took things even a notch farther in terms of theater performance by teaming up with fantasy writer Wolfgang Hohlbein to interpret his Netherworld novels on stage in the form of a rock opera for a few selected shows in Germany. With the bombastic title of Chronicles of the Immortals: Netherworld (Path I), this is the studio recording of the first half of those songs. Read more ›› |

Fresh off reviewing Vanden Plas' newest duology, The Ghost Xperiment, and right in the middle of a Vanden Plas binge, this seemed like the perfect time to look back on Chronicles Of The Immortals: Netherworld. Okay, first let me establish that I absolutely hate this naming convention. Look, I get it's a concept album, but having two titles like this is A) bad for marketing and B) obnoxious, making tagging my mp3 and flac files much more annoying. Oh, and on top of that, they also decided to go ahead and give each track TWO TITLES, and they did that stupid thing where they put the actual number first and then add the rest of the spelled out number? Like "7ven" for example: it's dumb and I hate it. Having gotten all my ire for the naming conventions on display, I should say that I can be very harsh on the smallest details when it comes to this band, but I promise it's out of love. Vanden Plas is one of my all time favorite bands and I wouldn't even be writing this review if they weren't. Read more ›› |
