'Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds (The New Generation)' is a re-working of the 1978 concept album by Jeff Wayne, retelling the story of the 1898 novel The War Of The Worlds by H. G. Wells. As previously, the music format is predominantly progressive rock and string orchestra, but with synthesizers playing a more prominent role. The music is intermixed with re-voiced narration and leitmotifs to carry the story forward via rhyming melodic lyrics that express the feelings of the various characters. Due to the consistent popularity of the original album, Wayne decided to return to his score and re-create it for a new generation of audiences, as well as re-launch a live tour throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. The album also replaces several guest singers from the original album. Liam Neeson replaced Richard Burton as the Journalist, Gary Barlow replaced Justin Hayward as the Sung Thoughts of the Journalist, Ricky Wilson replaced David Essex as the Artilleryman, Alex Clare replaced Chris Thompson as The Voice of Humanity, Maverick Sabre replaced Phil Lynott as Parson Nathaniel, and Joss Stone replaced Julie Covington as Beth. However, Jerry Wayne's pre-recorded dialogue on Epilogue, Pt. 2 (NASA) were kept from the original.

[Album]
10 June 1986
Doom Metal

'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' is the debut studio album by Candlemass.

The album title Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is a dog latin translation rendering of Epic Doom Metal - the genre which the band helped pioneer and with which it is most commonly identified.
