Imagine modern day vampire aristocracy caught between high society and the dark clubs frequented by heavy metal fanatics. There they are – the undead, struggling with their eternal blood-craving curse, sitting in the lounge while the music blares all around them. All the time, sipping their English black tea with their pinkies extended.
What are these brooding, redemption-seeking children of the night listening to? The sophisticated-yet-sinister sounds of Canadian gothic metal trio The Beckoning. Made up of Royden Turple, Meghann Turple, and Eldon Loewen, the group delivers a symphonic blend of operatic vocals and deathly growls all to the backdrop of melodic and crunching guitars that will bring to mind Cradle of Filth and early Therion. |
