Songs of Euphoria, a Berlin-based musical theatre challenge’s debut launch is a robust story of ordained future.

Songs of Euphoria – The March Of The Amazons

Recounting an epic quest of the mythological all-female tribe of the Amazons by means of symphonic rock, is the formidable debut launch for Berlin-based musical theatre challenge Songs of Euphoria. Fronted by their very own warrior queens – Nadine, Melinda and Lucia – the six-piece create an immersive music that owes a lot of its drama to the likes of Queen and Finnish band Nightwish.

All the weather are in place for a music with sufficient energy and energy to render the load of the duty bestowed on the three Amazonians by the Gods “And we march by means of the sands and the valleys of loss of life, by means of the mud for the land, the gods doom us!” The beating guitar strains that punctuate the monitor and carve out the fateful journey are the marks of Christian Cieslak, the de facto chief of the band and author of the music and lyrics, who reveals that the music has its origins in classical music:

“I needed to jot down a darkish story like Wagner’s “The Flying Dutchman” on the highly effective feminine topic of the Amazonian warrior-ladies. By which destiny and curse have a hand in it.”

And there’s a particular sense of the classical to the Sturm and Drang of the monitor. Not least by means of the Oriental-sounding refrain echoing the tribes’ quest: “Far to the east we roam to be launched earlier than the tip of time”. There are sections the place the feminine vocals harmonise in solidarity creating energy in numbers for the warrior queens backed by a marching drumbeat. In distinction, when there’s only a single vocal, the overriding sense is of human fallibility that feeds on hope: “I’ll see the sunshine then we be launched. All we sisters three shall be free then.”

What permits ‘The March of the Amazons’ to face tall and march by itself six ft within the pantheon of symphonic rock is the dimensions of the music. Opposite to the central theme of fatalistic helplessness there’s a lot scope for Songs of Euphoria to discover different ideas by means of their music, perhaps even their very own rock opera? What is definite is that they’ve set the stage for extra thrilling issues to come back.
