Symphonic metal up-and-comers SHIELD OF WINGS have dropped the orchestrations for just a moment. Showcasing the multiple vocal talents in the band, bassist Alex Luke took on the acapella arrangements of several of the bands favorite songs, including:
- DIMMU BORGIR “Progenies of the Great Apocalypse”
- AD INFINITUM “Seth”
- EPICA “Unleashed”
- SEVEN SPIRES “Shadow on an Endless Sea”
- MOONSPELL “Scorpion Flower”
- ELEINE “All Shall Burn”
Alex shared, “I’ve had a really great time working on these a cappella arrangements for SHIELD OF WINGS. When I was younger I spent a lot of time making arrangements for choirs and a cappella groups; I even published and sold some on sheetmusicplus.com. But I had gotten away from it in recent years, primarily focusing on bass with SHIED OF WINGS. So it’s been a real treat to go back to my roots and focus on pure vocal music for a little bit. Working with such talented singers is the cherry on top.”
