The Ferrymen - s/t

BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is truly excited to present THE FERRYMEN’s self-titled debut album, set for release on June 2, 2017!

The Ferrymen is a brand new project featuring guitarist Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall) and vocalist Ronnie Romero Official Site (Lords Of Black, Rainbow), together with drummer Mike Terrana (Rage, AXEL RUDI PELL, MasterPlan, and more).

The songs were written by Karlsson in Sweden during the summer of 2016. Once Romero was sent the music via their main bands' shared label home Frontiers, he immediately wanted to be part of the project. Terrana was the last piece of the puzzle and he recorded his drums in Italy, where he currently resides.

The resulting album is a shot of adrenaline for all lovers of melodic metal! Musically, you can expect maximum melodic metal fusing the songwriting and epic structures of the great ALLEN/LANDE records (for which Magnus Karlsson was the main architect of the first three widely praised releases) with the Ronnie James Dio-esque vocal approach of Romero. (Let's not forget that Romero was hand-picked by Deep Purple (1968-1976) and Rainbow's legendary guitarist Richie Blackmore to be the lead vocalist for Rainbow's recent reunion shows, so the Dio comparison is more than accurate!)

Tells Magnus, “When I wrote this record, having Ronnie singing, I had no limits in mind with the lyrics. Ronnie could sing everything and I am also very proud of the songs!”

“I am used to working with Lords of Black in a certain straight style,” adds Ronnie Romero, “but, this record was very different and it was very exciting for me!”

“Overall, I think it is one of the coolest and grooviest records I’ve ever done,” concludes Mike Terrana, a drummer with more than 100 records under his belt!

With stunning artwork courtesy of Stan W Decker and an outstanding mix courtesy of Simone Mularoni (of Italian prog metal masters DGM), THE FERRYMEN is an album which will take the metal world by storm in 2017!

I always find that weird...'we just met for the first time but we have recorded an album'

[Darkstone]

Really interested in this one.

[martinsane]

Could not have found a dumber name for the band.

[Dead Planet]

Could not have found a dumber name for the band.

Sure they could....I have heard plenty worse....

[DaHun72]

I like Ronnie, will definitely give this one a listen.

Let's hope track 2 is a cover of the epic Chris DeBurgh tune.

And no the name is as gay as it is implied to be. And yes I am not using the word as it was defined- happy.

[crazynights]

I was a fan of Last tribe ( I think they have been overlooked) . Ferrymen sound heavier but I will give this one a spin.

[Crazysam]

Good tune

[Darkstone]

Yeah, i'll definitely be getting this one.

Great stuff.

[Stefan]

[Geoff]

Could not possibly sound more like I predicted it would as soon as I saw the names involved. I am very, very uninterested. And it is a terrible, terrible band name.

[DaHun72]

Don't mind it but it is by the numbers.

 

Geoff what are you doing in the Metal section? What was the last metal album you liked?

[Geoff]

Ha, I didn't even know this was in the metal section because yes, I do make a point to avoid this section. Last metal album I liked would have been some modern metal band... because they actually write interesting tunes.

[DaHun72]

Hahaha...
