The Tenth Stage

Grand Guignol

Release Date: June 1st, 2008

Following on from their eponymous debut album The Tenth Stage , The Tenth Stage have crafted a new monster creation in the form of their brand new second album Grand Guignol.After a year of touring and refining their unique visual performances,the band have emerged from the studio with a truly unique album. This second installment in the series of Murder, Lust and Depravity now crash lands in the middle of the 19th century, going even further backin time than their debut album. A new assortment of aural pleasures awaits within, with a newer orchestral sound being explored, while still maintaining the clinical precision that only Analog and Digital Synthesiers can deliver. Roberto and John have filled the album with a parade of guest musicians, in order to bring life to their distorted and twisted visions.

Take a stroll down memory lane with The Tenth Stage and visit the killing fields of Tyburn Hill in Olde-England (Requiem For Molly) or visit a vampire occupied 'German Grey Shirts' drinking bar (El Dorado). Occasionally the time machine jumps into the 21st Century and pays a visit to disgusting beasts such as Ed Gein (Sex Is Bad Eddie), but before long you are transported back in time to the good olde days of swift justice and public hangings.

Grand Guignol is not for the faint hearted, but those of a more refined disposition will still appreciate the multi layered vocals and delicate instrumentation of the finely crafted songs contained within.
