1102.0. "Theatre of Tragedy" by TPLAB::VLASIU (Sorin Vlasiu - Brussels, Belgium) Fri Oct 06 1995 04:55

I've read an excellent review of a band (aparently from Norway) 
called Theatre of Tragedy.
They play quite progressive doom metal and they have two singers
(delicate female voice and rough male voice).
Has anyone heard of them ?

    Find out if they have a CD out! I'll check newbury comics maybe this
    weekend and search for some more Shadow Gallery! I like that Carved in
    Stone CD, 20 tunes! Overall pretty darn good!

Re. Mike

The review I've read concerned the new CD they released. But I don't remember
the title. :-(

    Hi Sorin,

    know who/what they were! Well, I will try to check it out this weekend
    if I have the time/girlfriend lets me! (NOT)!
    
    I just don't going to those places.....I ALWAYS end up getting 2-3
    discs! ;-}

    Hi Sorin,
    
    You get this one yet? I am listening to the new Cathedral, The Carnival
    Bizarre! Pretty cool disc! Unable to locate Theatre/Theater of Tragedy
    at the Newbury up in Salem near my place....have to keep checking! I am
    thinking about ordering some Magellan or Crimson Glory if I can through
    them eventually....but I can't get Forbiddens "Twisted into Form" due
    to being out of print.......too bad! Have to look and find a store with
    used stuff!
    
    Talk to ya soon!

1102.5Finally I listened one song .. :-)TPLAB::VLASIUSorin Vlasiu - Brussels, BelgiumTue Jul 09 1996 11:1517
Finally I had the occasion to listen one song from their album (named also
Thetre of Tragedy) and I was very well impressed. The song was heavy but with
a clear melodic line and employed among the usual heavy metal instruments some
woodwinds and piano. All this well combined with the charming voice of the lady 
singer and completed by a rough and deep male singer voice. I will start 
looking for the CD. It's on a label named Massacra.
I have listened it from a compilation CD that I have bought recently. On the
same CD there were also other bands, some of them very very close to
Queensryche in sound. Among the bands were: Veni Domine (very QR like), Scanner,
Chastain, Psyco Drama (excellent, very QR like), Pretty Maids, King Diamond etc.
A nice compilation (it's called "16 bullets in your head").

Sorin
PS. I've also listened a song from Angra (a bresilian band) on the radio. 
Also very impressive (just like the reviews). In the QR class but original and 
with a singer recalling the one from Vicious Rumors. Clerarly progressive metal.
The song was called "Nothing more to say" from the album "Holy Land".
1102.6cool! Waiting for full length release now...SUBSYS::MSOUCYWed Jul 10 1996 06:3314
    
    I've been to there page on the web, they've only released demos and on
    the compilation(s)....I am really waiting to get a listen to this band!
    I also recently got Celestial Season - Solar Lovers, heavy, atmospheric
    doomish metal, deep, heavy singer, but not overbearing....I have been
    trying to get my hands on Angra and to find Veni Domine...no luck yet.
    I will probably have to order it when I get around to it! It seems all
    the bands I want to get ahold of are not in stock.....
    
    Good to see you finally heard them! I believe they are supposed to have
    a release this year too (finally!).
