Petra Struijs to sing on Gatekeepers album

December 18, 2009

Dutch singer Petra Struijs, former lead vocalist of the band Galanor, will appear on the Gatekeepers album.  Petra has recently finished recording vocal parts for her role as the Mother.

I first noticed Petra's voice after she was chosen as the lead singer in Galanor.  I could tell right away she had a very strong, versatile voice, and the fact that she was classically trained didn't hurt things either!  I thought she would sound good in one of the roles on Gatekeepers, so I emailed one of her bandmates and asked for her contact information.  Some time later, I got a message on myspace from Petra, wondering if there were any songs left to sing.  The role I had originally considered her for had been filled already, but I knew her rich, earthy lower register would make her perfect for the role of the Mother.

Petra is currently working on material for a new project, Purple Q, with Legend's Ghost guest guitarist Sebas Honing.

As I am still waiting on some pretty important parts for each of the songs she is appearing on, I cannot post a full song featuring Petra at this point.  I hope to do so in the near future!

Legend's Ghost is looking for a few guitarists to play on songs on each of the two albums. You would play 2-3 songs, more if you want to and there are songs available.

Requirements:

- Must be a proficient, talented, and passionate musician

- Must have a way to either record yourself or someone to record you (high quality, of course!) OR live within driving distance of Quito, Ecuador.

- Experience playing symphonic metal is a plus, but if you normally play another genre and are good at lea...

Mystery Singer 5: The Mother

December 9, 2009
And it's now time for another guessing game!  Go to the music page and listen to Mystery Singer 5 and see if you can guess her identity!  As usual, if you are a bandmate, housemate, or romantic partner of this singer, you may not attempt to guess her identity.  (that also goes for other people who are "in the know" for some other reason)

But the rest of you can send your guesses to legendsghost@gmail.com.

A few clues about her:

- She recently left her former band to start an exciting new projec...

New song up!

October 30, 2009
Finally...after exactly a year since the last major LG release, I have a new song up!  This is the first song that has all the required parts done so I can mix it.  Most of the other ones are missing something, so I can't post them yet.  But if you want to have a listen, go to the music page.

The Muse Erotic was originally going to be an instrumental, but I decided to add lyrics.  Because of the nature of the lyrics, I am only showing this song on this website, and not on facebook and myspace....

Post-production has begun!

October 29, 2009
I have just hooked my laptop up to a beautiful set of speakers, and I have begun editing the final cuts for Gatekeepers!  (Yes, more people still have to record, but that's between me and them! ;) )

I finished the first mix of one of the songs, The Muse Erotic.  I'll be listening to it a lot to decide if it is, indeed, the final version, but I will say I am very excited about how it has turned out, and of course, I...

Joris "Sygmoral" Debonnet and Louise Gracielle to sing on Legend's Ghost

October 11, 2009
No one was able to correctly guess either of the mystery singers, so I am now announcing them. 

Mystery singer # 3 is none other than Joris Debonnet, the keyboardist and backing vocalist of the recently-signed band Gwyllion.  Joris and I sang together in the 2007 lineup of Ayreonotes, an Arjen Lucassen tribute band which played at the Ayreon fanmeet.  His deep, booming voice immediately caught my attention, and when I began working on Gatekeepers, I knew he would be perfect for the character ...

Mystery Singer 4: The Maiden

October 3, 2009
The Maiden has recorded!  And I have posted a little preview so you can hear her.  But just like with the other singers, I will give you a chance to guess who she is.  The sample is on the music page.

And, just like with the other contests, if you are the first to correctly guess her, you get a free signed copy of Gatekeepers when it is released.  Bandmates, family members, and significant others of the singer and other people who have access to unreleased LG information are not permitted to p...

Mystery vocalist #3: The Stranger

September 29, 2009
And it's another guessing contest!  Another vocalist has recorded.  His character is called "The Stranger", which is quite appropriate right now, seeing as it is up to you to figure out who he might be.  Take a listen on the music page.

A few hints:
This singer's band recently got a record deal.
He is perhaps better known as an instrumentalist.
He and I have worked together before.

And remember, if you are the first to guess correctly, you will get a free signed copy of Gatekeepers, which is the a...
