Description

Brand new solo album from legendary Dream Theater vocalist.

Impermanent Resonance was once again conceived together with LaBries songwriting partner for over a dozen years now, Matt Guillory, who didnt only take the leading role in the composing of the song material, but also handled all of the keyboard recordings as well as background vocals. Just like on the previous album release from 2010, Static Impulse, Marco Sfogli from Italy masterfully tracked all of the guitars, bass duties were taken care of by Ray Riendeau (Halford, Machines of Loving Grace) and Swedish drummer extraordinaire Peter Wildoer, who has not only had a long-term international career with his own band Darkane and recent recognition due to his auditions for Dream Theater, but he has also collected high profile recording and performing credits for Metal bands as diverse as Majestic, Old Mans Child, Pestilence and Arch Enemy.

This solidified line-up for James LaBries releases doesnt only help the musical chemistry shine through fully, it also adds actually quite in contrast to the albums title an unmistakable evenness in the stylistic approach to be found throughout Impermanent Resonance. It substantially and neatly continues the eventful musical ride for all those who enjoyed the dynamic, extremely fresh and very powerful attitude already found on Static Impulse. In fact, it even takes the whole journey a step further, with the levels of catchiness and heaviness remarkably increased, without losing sight of the importance of interesting songwriting or technical ingenuity.

James LaBrie comments about Impermanent Resonance as follows: To me this album incorporates and continues with the styles and musical direction that we have created with the previous releases. The difference being that the music on this disc is to me a true telling of the songs evolving and taking on a sense of identity that is every bands ultimate goal. It is powerful, memorable, hook-driven and above all extremely musical. It shows how the writing and the band itself have matured. I truly feel that this is our quintessential album.
