Harpazo - The Crucible - Rock Opera

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, 
We want to say hi to everyone and get some reviews of our new album "The Crucible". People compare us a lot to Ayreon, Neal Morse, and Transsiberian Orchestra. Which makes sense because we are a rock/metal opera group with many known talents. Here is all the info:

My name is Jessica Erin and I represent the creators of "Harpazo: The Crucible" (USA) - A Rock/Metal Opera Album by Marc Centanni, Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery/Ayreon) featuring DC Cooper (Royal Hunt) and Mark Zonder (ex-Fates Warning / Warlord) and other guests!  We are part of Rockshots Records label and we were wondering if any of you were interested in doing a review on our album or some press. It came out on June 28th, 2024.

To listen to the album streaming - https://lnk.to/DQbZKb3s

Uniquely, the band has created a very special Visualizer Story Experience - Full Album + Lyrics + Band Notes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrTBH-7U0p4&t=2s

Our single hit youtube on May 15th and it's called "I AM GOD". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVxA6Lu1-VQ

Our second single hit youtube on June 28th called "Ichor". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIJ4obmISiw

Music video for "I Am God" was done by Wayne Joyner and Dave Letelier (Creed, Ayreon, Seven Dust, Kansas, Dream Theater)

We've been featured in several rock magazines/sites and here are some quotes:

"...The Crucible will be jostling for my album of the year honours come the end of year "- Sea of Tranquility

"I Highly Recommend Giving It The Attention It Deserves—It’s A Remarkable Achievement!" - My Global Mind

"This Is Christian Metal's Les Miserables" - Heaven's Metal Magazine

"The Crucible” by Harpazo is a breathtaking journey through sound and story, punctuated by stellar performances from a roster of accomplished musicians. With each listen, new layers unfold, inviting the listener to immerse deeper into its intricate world. Anyone labeling this album as anything less than a masterpiece would be severely mistaken." - Lots of Muzik

"It Immediately Becomes Clear That The Foundation Underneath The Endeavor, Constructed By Marc Centanni Together With Shadow Gallery’s Creative Force Gary Wehrkamp, Is A Pristine Blend Of Melodic And Progressive Rock With Towering Symphonic Elements." - Headbanger's Lifestyle Magazine

"Succeeded In Making Me Feel Like I Was In The World He Created, Like I Was On The Stage Of An Opera Being Played." - MetalOpera.org

"Simply Stated, Harpazo- The Crucible Is Going To Kick Your Ass, Wash Over You Like A Waterfall, And Send You Away Ready To Get In Line To Ride The Adventure Again." - TMMC

"...The Crucible Will Be Jostling For My Album Of The Year Honours Come The End Of 2024" - Sea Of Tranquility
