KAMELOT Keyboardist OLIVER PALOTAI Guests On LEAVES' EYES Piano Version Of "The Waking Eye"
Leaves' Eyes has revealed that Kamelot keyboardist Oliver Palotai guests on the piano version of the song "The Waking Eye", a bonus track found on the 2CD Mediabook Limited Edition of the new Leaves' Eyes album, King Of Kings.
Palotai comments: "I had the honor to arrange and record the piano version of 'The Waking Eye' for Leaves' Eyes. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful songs I ever worked on. I always knew Liv to be a great singer, but her performance here just left me speechless. She was easily flowing along to the piano which I definitely didn´t play in standard pop style. So, left to say that I am hoping for an opportunity to play this live one day."
Vocalist Liv Kristine also checked in with the following:
"We are proud to present our brand new videoclip, 'The Waking Eye'! It was filmed at several locations in Norway and Germany. Moreover, our son Leon plays the role of the child king Harald, while Alex (Krull/vocals) performs as the grown up Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway. I’m proud of my two Vikings!”
Alex Krull adds:
“For the battle we recruited a horde of Vikings from several Viking groups: Værjaborg, Franci Saravi, Blodorn, Blodhvitnir and Ziu Zynir. As the battle was going on, Rainer 'ZIPP' Fränzen and his team filmed in rain and mud–it was epic fun to be one of the Viking warriors!”
Liv Kristine recently posted an overview of the band's new album, King Of Kings:
"Hafrsfjord, Norway's west-coast. A.D. 872. Did you hear what happened?
Harald Hårfagre (c.850-932), remembered by medieval historians as the first king of Norway. The battle of Hafrsfjord is described in the Saga of Harald Hårfagre (Harald Fairhair) in Snorri's Heimskringla. Harald defeated several petty kings and the battle is considered decisive in the unification of Norway. The seabed in Hafrsfjord hides many secrets and many traces. Moreover, Hafrsfjord is my birthplace. With our upcoming album we would like to take you on a journey through a highly interesting chapter in Scandinavia's history.
Those of you who were present at our latest concerts surely noticed that there's one new song on our setlist, 'Halvdan The Black' - one chapter of the upcoming album King Of Kings!
Halvdanr Svarte (c.810-860) was a ninth-century king of Vestfold, Norway. He belonged to the House of Yngling (son of Odin' line) and was the father of Harald Fairhair. 'Halvdan The Black' is just the start of an amazing adventure!
This production is one unique soundtrack - a brilliant and impressive auditive experience. The album was recorded in Germany, Norway, England, Netherlands, Belarus and Switzerland. King of Kings is produced by Alexander Krull at Mastersound Studio. Outstanding musical colleagues and ensembles have contributed with their guest appearances like the London Voices Choir (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Hobbit, Harry Potter). The fantastic artwork is done by Stefan Heilemann (Lindemann, Nightwish, Epica, Kamelot).
