Since 2009, the team of musicians from Montreal Canada, comprising of vocalist / violist / violinist Julie Bélanger Roy (Gone in April, Ex.Bâtards du Nord), guitarist/orchestrator James Slainmann (Gone in April) and drummer Yanic Bercier (Gone in April, Newman/DiGiorgio/Bercier project, ex-QuoVadis), put their heads together to compose, orchestrate and record MÄRCHENBILDER's 1st full-length album, Flickering Truth, scheduled to be released on May 30th 2013. Their diverse backgrounds in music, from film music scoring, orchestra / opera performance to heavy and technical drumming led them to drop the barrier between classical and metal genres, creating an epic and powerful symphonic metal ensemble.
The album features guest American cellist Chris Gratton, Italian bassist Chicco Parisi (Gone in April, Ex. Sadist) and Canadian guitarist MAG (MAG project, Quo Vadis, Ex. Forgotten Tales). Flickering Truth was engineered and mixed by Yanic Bercier at WaveTransform Studios, TN-USA and mastered by Alan Douches (mastered Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Despised Icon) at West West Side Music, NY-USA. "We are very happy to present Flickering Truth." The album is available online for preorder at www.wavetransform.com. Stay tuned for more details about Märchenbilder and the upcoming release at: www.marchenbilder.com. The full album will be available online for streaming from May 31st to June 9th 2013 at www.reverbnation.com/marchenbilder.
