Le Reverie's "Dark Symphony" Gets Shining Reviews

All critics agree, Le Reverie is awe inspiring and is destine for greatness in every level imaginable!

"Le Reverie delivers a Goth-fueled arena-sized vision exemplified by the darkly sensual 'Twisted' and 'Le Reverie,' with heaps of hard-rock riffage and haunted yearning. (Allie Jorgen's) vocals are strong on power balled 'The Ghost Of You,' with its Stevie Nicks aura."

                                       MUSIC CONNECTION

"Dark Symphony sounds like it should be coming out of northern Europe rather than right here in America. I would liken this band to the sound and feeling of bands such as Dream Theater, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil and a bit of early Evanescence. A great album by a great band!"

NATIONAL ROCK REVIEW

"If you're a fan of symphonic-styled epic rock with sorrow in their hearts, you might well rejoice as another quality act are added to the community. Dark Symphony is a good debut album; ten tracks with meat on their bones, and a compelling lead vocal performance by Allie Jorgen."

SCREAMER MAGAZINE

"Dark Symphony is a remarkable album, deftly combining a dazzling array of influences into a unique and enthralling whole. Allie Jorgen's vocals are rich and warm, and she conveys emotion like a master on the metal title track."

100 % ROCK MAGAZINE

"Le Reverie ('The Dream') catches you with its metal-influences guitar and rhythm, paired with use of piano and (Allie) Jorgen's soaring vocals. A solid release...a strong future for Le Reverie is in store."

ROCK OVER AMERICA

"Le Reverie will lure you in with their haunting melodies and dark heavy tracks...Dark Symphony demands the attention of diverse fans of Progressive Metal music. The songs boast an array of powerful progression and passion while still retaining its heavy metal attitude."

ALL ACCESS MAGAZINE

"On Dark Symphony Le Reverie stands out and separates themselves from similarly-sounding bands of their ilk. A noticeable lingering air of darkness and layered sound runs through the album on such standouts as 'Le Reverie (The Dream)' 'Hold Me Down' and 'Pleasure & Pain.'”

STARPULSE

"Not since Fleetwood Mac was fronted by Stevie Nicks has a band been fronted by such a hauntingly, bewitchingly beautiful singer. Allie Jorgen handily commands the mic, stage, persona, and vocals as well as any veteran rocker who comes to mind. An incredible merging of Goth, Prog, and Metal with some very healthy doses of symphonic bliss."

BOOMEROCITY

"Fine collaboration of Goth Prog-Metal dreamscape music. Top-notch musicianship. I get this feeling I'm on a sonic caravan with an aural backdrop of nebulous and shadowy landscapes leading the listener to soft swaying fields of nirvana. Are you ready to take a symphonic journey? If so, there is no looking back!"

GUITARZ FOREVER

"I received Dark Symphony and found this collection of work to be a truly magnificent gem of musical composition. Le Reverie has taken traditional rock, Gothic music, progressive metal, and classical symphonic stylings, and blended it into a perfect creation of emotionally stirring music."

XOMBIEWOOF MAGAZINE

"An interesting blend of Goth rock, Metal, Prog Rock and even symphony music as in the album's opener, 'La Naissance.' 'Twisted' is another example of Le Reverie's fine musical and songwriting skills. Powerful and enthralling chord progressions, and songs that create poignant visual images in the listener's mind."

L.A. MUSIC EXAMINER

"Majestic melodies and soaring female vocals from (front person) Allie Jorgen are a guarantee on this release with highlights including the orchestral instrumental opener 'La Naissance' and the piano-led ballad 'Ghost Of You.' Well worth checking out."

METALLIVILLE

"Dark Symphony is a collection of well-written songs along the vein of Evanesence with a pinch of Prog. Allie jorgen's vocals weave a hypnotic spell through each track that takes the listener to a different realm."

ROCK THIZ MAGAZINE

"Le Reverie have managed to take the sound of Evanescence and bring it to a whole new level. At once aggressive and melodic, they are clearly not afraid to push the boundaries of what is considered metal. While many bands seem to be a one-trick pony, Le Reverie bring epic scope while stripping it down and nearly pulls it off with perfection. 4 out of 5 skulls (covered with black candles)."

THE HAZARD REPORT

"Dark Symphony is a mesmerizing opus."

ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE

"Fronted by the amazing Allie Jorgen, Le Reverie's Dark Symphony is twelve tracks of amazing hard rock with a progressive undercurrent. 'Hall Of Mirrors' and 'Dark Secrets' continue the terrific momentum set by the previous tracks. 'Truth & Lies' and a reprise of 'Ghost In You' ends this amazing album. 9 (stars out of) 10."

This Week's Stack by Sean Stoltey

Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation2 #3 - Scott & David Tipton w/Tony Lee, J.K. Woodward and the Sharp Brothers - What can I tell you about this series that I haven't brought up before?  If you watched Doctor Who in the 70's and 80's and were also a big fan of the the Original Series Star Trek, you are going to love this issue.  

Keeping with the subplot of the Doctor remembering things about the Trek universe while realizing that he didn't know them before, we are treated to an adventure with the original Trek cast along with the Tom Baker version of the Doctor.  Man oh man, was that cool.  The art is handled by a different team for this sequence and it really sets it apart from the rest of the book.  It definitely feels like a flashback of some kind.

There are not a lot of solutions found in this issue, mostly more questions raised.  It was kind of like watching an episode of LOST.  So, of course there is moment at the end of the "episode" that makes you really want to see the next issue.  Kudos, once again, to the whole team for doing a crossover that is actually entertaining AND in character.

Captain Marvel #1 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy - So Ms. Marvel is taking on the Captain Marvel name.  The irony being that when she left the Air Force, the character was a full Colonel.  This is a book that I really want to like, and I almost succeed.  I want to like it, because I agree with some folks out there that there are not enough female-driven comics in the mainstream.  I honestly don't blame the companies though.  As Spider-Man writer Dan Slott pointed out, it's a business and fans have to vote with their wallets.  The companies keep trying to push female solo books, they try to embrace diversity; but if the fans aren't buying it then they can't afford to publish it.  All that aside, it was an alright book.  There's some fun to be had here.  I hope that DeConnick plans to keep the fun tone going forward as that was the best part of the book.  It opens with Carol Danvers (Capt. Marvel) taking on the Absorbing Man with Captain America.  They make fairly short work of him, but the scene is used to highlight the fact that Cap sees Carol as an equal.  He is, in fact, the one that tells her she should stop being Ms. Marvel and become Captain Marvel.  

For a comic book that wasn't written by Robert Kirkman, there is a lot of inner-monologueing in the book.  Because of that, it is odd that we learn more about Carol through her interactions with other characters than we do in her inner monologue.  To be more accurate, there isn't much in  her monologue we couldn't have learned from some more action and dialogue.  I'm old school, I don't mind the inner monologue, but this one just didn't sit too well.  I just wanted her to stop talking to herself and hit more things.  Maybe the shortcoming is mine, I don't know.  Some new history and supporting cast are introduced.  At least it was mostly new to me as I hadn't read the Ms. Marvel series.  I've always liked the character, just haven't tried her solo yet.  

The art on the inside is not at all like the poppy colorful fun art on the cover.  Not to say Soy is all that bad, his style just doesn't immediately seem like a fit for this particular book.  There is one moment, a transition between pages where I almost felt like he had decided to redesign the costume one day and didn't feel like going back and fixing the other pages.  Mostly, though, I just felt like his darker, almost painterly style just didn't set well with the character or the story.  I think it could have popped a little more with a lighter, peppier tone to the art.  The issue sets up enough and shows enough promise for me to try a few issues, but it's going to have to set that hook pretty soon.

Revival #1 by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton - Closest I can come to a description is that Fargo, The Walking Dead and the X-Files had a baby.  It seems on a recent Christmas in the area of Rothschild, Wisconsin that a lot of dead people came back to life.  They aren't really zombies.  At least not in the "classical" sense.  The area has been quarantined and life is attempting to return to normal while the government figures out what exactly is going on.  There's a bit of behind the scenes at the police station, family drama, something spotted in the woods and then some good old fashioned violent mayhem and mystery.  Also, some pretty gross stuff involving teeth.  This one has some interesting characters, an intriguing plot and some good horror elements all thrown into the pot.  Our main character is Officer Dana Cypress, daughter of the police Chief and seemingly connected to every plot and subplot in the book.  She is a single mother and older sister and despite who her dad is, those two relationships seem like they are going to have the most connection to any answers that will be found.  As with a lot of my reviews, I don't want to delve to deep into this.  I want you to enjoy the discovery and the surprises.  This one is definitely worth picking up.  I will be doing so for the foreseeable future.

I'll try to be back for more this week.  Let me know what you guys are reading out there.

Sean Stoltey, writer, raconteur and retired rabble rouser, hails originally from California's Central Coast but currently resides in Southern California's BEAUTIFUL--San Fernando Valley. Screenwriter, Comic Book author, these are things he does because he's too poor to be a Producer or Publisher.

Sean has been reading comics, watching movies, reading books and selling his soul (or at least his hearing) to Rock'n'Roll for as long as he can remember. He has been discussing and arguing about these things for almost as long. 

So now he has come here to throw his opinions in your face as well and hope that, even if you don't agree, hopefully you will enjoy them. For the record: Kirk was the greatest Enterprise Captain, Han was the only one that shot, Led Zeppelin was the greatest Rock band to walk the Earth and Keith Richards is the coolest undead person to walk the Earth. Coolest living people are my sons and my Mom and Dad. My Dad F---in' rocks, and my Mom can kick your ass.
