Dorian Opera was formed in May, 2007. All professional musicians, Oliver Weislogel ( guitar ), Joe Eisenburger ( bass, vocals ) , Andrew Roussak ( keyboards, backing vocals ) and Harry Reischmann ( drums ) had already had an experience of playing played together in various bands in Baden- Wuerttemberg, South Germany .
The band name DORIAN OPERA was chosen to stress a link between classical and rock music ( Dorian is a scale mostly often used in rock compositions ). The main influences of the band are , among others, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Yes, Rush, ELP, Marillion, as well as European classical , barocque , renaissance and medieval music.
The debut CD No Secrets was released on the progressive rock label from Russia MALS Records in June 2008.
Press release DORIAN OPERA - No Secrets, June 2008
Dear Friends:
We proudly present our debut CD to you, No Secrets by Dorian Opera. The CD was recorded from August 2007 through March 2008 at Dorian Opera Studios in Kehl-Kork, Germany and was published in June 2008 by MALS Records; a progressive rock label from Russia.
The unique style of Dorian Opera is built from progressive rock and progressive metal traditions as well as the strong influence of European classical music. Take the powerful lead vocals and groovy bass playing of Joe Eisenburger; add in the virtuoso guitar solos of Oliver Weislogel; keyboard soundscapes and Wakeman style synth passages of Andrew Roussak; mix it all up with fantastic stick and double-bass drum work of Harry Reischmann (to say nothing of Queen-like choirs!) and you will get the sound of DORIAN OPERA!
The 11 pieces of the CD are not bound together with any concept, except music. The only actual statement of this work is the sound. Thematically, we wanted to speak of the things which seem important to us: politics and politicians; killer computer games and suicide rampages; frustration, hope, loneliness and eternal love.
You will find 8 original songs and 2 instrumentals on this CD. The last track is actually a bonus track. This is our rendition of one of the most ingenious musical pieces ever –
L’Estate Presto from Le Quattro Staggioni of Antonio Lucio Vivaldi.
Sincerely, many Dorian regards -
Joe, Oliver, Andrew and Harry
