The Longing announce their highly anticipated new album ‘Tales of Torment’ released on 29 September. With previous singles scooping countless radio airplay in the UK and 18 countries worldwide, plus UK Record of the Week, as well as numerous TV and movie slots including MTV, The Cannes Film Festival and a score for William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, there’s no doubt that The Longing are highly influential force across the global prog/rock music scene.
Troubled and anguished, ‘Tales of Torment’ is a storybook of alternative tales, the type of narratives told from the perspective of the wicked witch and the twisted villain. Catapult yourself into the mind of the wicked stepmother towering over the sweet Cinderella, see things from her point of view; twisted, bleak and macabre – that’s the world of ‘Tales of Torment’.
A bitter-sweet canvass of angst-ridden frustration, ‘Tales of Torment’ sees Laura Bradley and the band create an epic musical masterpiece of hybrid orchestrals; layering sharp synths on a bed of classical orchestral arrangement, pierced divinely with Bradley’s crystalline vocals. It’s the paradox of the delicate against the aggressive that creates the sheer exquisiteness of this melodic collection.
