The international Melodic Heavy (Power) Metal act Timeless Fairytale has just released their brand new track ‘New Dawn‘, which is the first single from the band’s upcoming debut album ‘A Story to Tell‘. The album is set to be released on September 13 via ViciSolum Productions and the single is now available on all major digital platforms.
Timeless Fairytale‘s guitarist and songwriter Luca Sellitto about the single: “I believe that ‘New Dawn’ is a perfect choice as a first single, cause it has all the core elements of our sound: a very melodic and memorable vocal line; a great riff, which has the potential to catch the listener’s attention from the very first few notes; an energetic drums/bass work, based on a standard power metal ‘sixtheenth-note’ groove, but with the right dose of variation; a shredding guitar solo, very classically influenced; symphonic strings arrangements and majestic backing vocals layers.
Just for the curious: I wrote the song around a very old riff that I came up with back in 1999 or 2000 and remained unused for over twenty years, but I’ve finally managed to put it in the right context and, surprisingly, it still sounds fresh and driving. I hope that all the listeners will appreciate the ‘passion and fire’ that we put into this song and get fired up by it!”
Timeless Fairytale is founded by Danish singer Henrik Brockmann (original frontman of Royal Hunt and Evil Masquerade) and Italian guitarist/songwriter Luca Sellitto, from the band Stamina and session guitarist for Ian Parry’s Rock Emporium. The mighty lineup is completed by a killer rhythm section, consisting of Stamina’s bass player Carmine Vivo and Swedish drummer Viktor Enebjörn, from the bands Forever Still and Darknd. Timeless Fairytale’s style is the result of a tasty combination of neoclassical/power metal, symphonic metal and classic rock.This band can be considered a “dream come true” for all fans of catchy and elegant vocal melodies, classically influenced instrumental parts and majestic/bombastic arrangements.
Luca Sellitto about the album:
“When singer Henrik Brockmann (ex-Royal Hunt) and I decided to form Timeless Fairytale, we settled on creating a very melodic and energetic album, with a lot of strong and deep melodies, neoclassical/symphonic influences, virtuosic playing and slightly melanchonic lyrics. ‘A Story to Tell’ leads the listener into an evocative journey through multiple facets of human experiences and feelings, by offering a very dynamic and diverse sound palette which will surely keep the attention and interest high from the first to the last note.
Henrik acts just like a storyteller. His charming and unique vocal timbre matches perfectly with the underlying ‘arabesque’ musical atmosphere that characterizes most of the tracks. The album also has a few pleasant twists here and there, but without ever losing its cohesive nature.
My song-writing pays homage to some great Melodic-/Power-/Neoclassical metal artists and bands from the 80’s and 90’s for sure, but without simply paraphrasing their style. We strongly believe that we have our very own identity and a modern sound as a band, and we just can’t wait to share with world what we’ve come up with“.
