GENUS ORDINIS DEI – Letztes Video zu visuellem Symphonic-Metal-Album erschienen (UPDATE)
Vor einem knappen Jahr berichteten wir euch von den Plänen der Jungs von Genus Ordinis Dei, ihre ungewöhnliche Symphonic-Death-Metal-Oper „Glare of Deliverance“ (Eclipsed Records) zu produzieren. In einer Crowdfunding-Kampagne konnte das italienische Quartett knapp 12.000 Euro einsammeln.
Die Idee des Konzeptalbums war, die Geschichte von Eleanor, die von der Inquisition verfolgt wird, mit zehn Musikvideos (eines pro Song auf dem Album) zu erzählen. Dafür hatte die Band die Zusammenarbeit mit einem umfangreichen Team angekündigt.
Am 4. Dezember 2020 war das Album erschienen, bis dahein waren bereits sechs Videos erschienen. Und man muss sagen, daß die Signori nicht zu viel versprochen hatten. Die Videos sind professionell und ästhetisch ansprechend, so daß wir sie euch nicht vorenthalten wollen. Die crossmediale Geschichte mit Chören, Growls und Streichern entfaltet Spannung und den Wunsch, weiterzuschauen – fast wie bei einer guten Netflix-Serie. Inklusive dem Frust, bis zur nächsten Folge warten zu müssen, doch der ist nun vorbei: Aktuell ist die zehnte und letzte Episode erschienen, damit ist das audiosvisuelle Grossprojekt abgeschlossen!

“Ritual”: Eleanor’s journey towards the “Glare of Deliverance” has just begun. The Ritual has been broken. They are coming…
The Cross has reached the wild lands, chasing its prey. Eleanor runs for her life, escaping her fate. But the Heart Of Stone is lost in the deep of the forest, forever.
“Edict” continues the story of Eleanor, picking up where the previous episode “Hunt” left off. The Holy Inquisition has captured her after a brutal chase through the forest. The Cross have her in their clutches now, and they are taking her to the citadel where hatred spreads like a disease. She fears for her life and tries to resist. The residents of the citadel cast her looks of disgust and contempt, while The Black Friar awaits the witch. Who will save her? Can you resist her glaring eyes while she looks at you and cries for help?
“Examination” continues the story of Eleanor, picking up where the previous episode “Edict” left off. The Cross has her in their clutches at the Citadel, and The Inquisitor wants to know the truth, at any cost. His eyes peer and penetrate Eleanor’s mind but the truth is hidden inside her and she won’t bite the fruit of guilt. Blood will tell though, her blood. Is there no escape for Eleanor?
„Torture“: The truth must be revealed at any cost. Iron will extract it from her, pain will expose her lies, and fire will reveal her true nature… The Cross always finds the truth!
Episode 6/10 „Judgement“: White as grace, black as sin. The Bishop sits on his throne and his One Eye will decide Eleanor’s fate… Will she be forgiven, or she will pay the price of guilt?
Episode 7/10 „Dream“: Sleep brings new hope for Eleanor. In her dreams, a dancing shadow shows her the way… baptized by The Fallen, she recovers the Heart of Stone and is reborn.
Episode 8/10 „Abjuration“: The Cross demands repentance from Eleanor but The Fallen has other plans for his new servant.
Episode 9/10 „Exorcism“: The ritual is to be broken. Her soul is to be cleansed, and when all is lost… hope arises.
Episode 10/10 „Fire“: I see tongues of flame dancing in the night. I hear the drums, a cadence of war. The gate is open.
