German Progressive Rock band Cyril published the official video for the track “On Sacred Ground” taken from their fourth album “Amenti´s Coin – Secret Place pt. II” out on February 22nd, 2022 via Progressive Promotion Records. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
With their 4th album, Cyril have taken up the concept of their long track “The Secret Place pt. I” from the album “Paralyzed” and continued it in a rousing concept album. None other than Mr. Guy Manning (Damanek, UPF) wrote the lyrics to the exciting story of Denis Strassburg. The band attached great importance to a musically and lyrically exciting implementation of the themes and characters.
Marek Arnold (Seven Steps To The Green Door, Toxic Smile, ex-Stern Combo Meissen, Flaming Row and many others), Denis Strassburg and Ralf Dietsch are working in a constant and proven cast with 2 gifted singers: Manuel Schmid (Stern Meissen) and Larry B. (Toxic Smile). Manuel Humpf (ex-Smalltape) took a seat on the drum stool for this album.
“Amenti ́s Coin” again shows the core skills of the band – Melodic Prog/Rock songs with an eye on great songwriting, providing a very own athmosphere.
The album not only features the typical sound of the band, but again puts on a show for the fans, with great vocal arrangements and melodies.
The record was mixed / mastered by Martin Schnella.
