Ladies
and gentlemen… from the Netherlands… guitarist form Sun cage…
Mr. Marcel Coenen! A
few years ago one of my friends send my a link to Marcel
Coenen’s website with the words; -
Check this guitarist out! I did and I was more than impressed
with his skills. He
is giving shredders like Malmsteen and Vai a run for their money…
believe me he is.
This
DVD entitled “A live time journey” was recorded and filmed
at January 28th 2006 in Weert, The
Netherlands, at “De Bosuil”. The
DVD is a live documentation, of the live performance to launch
Marcel’s second solo album, “Colour
Journey” (2006 Lion Music) in his native Netherlands. Marcel
Coenen is playing the entire “Colour Journey” album live
with almost every guest musicians who
appear on the album.
Marcel
Coenen is a very gifted guitarist, that’s for sure but a few
of the tracks here on this DVD is a
little boring in my opinion. Especially the slower tracks are
not exactly my cup of tea, however most of
the tracks are good… especially the heavier tracks are a feast
for every one into shredders.
We
get 14 tracks, some of them instrumental and some of them with
vocals. Clean vocals, growls and female
vocals are what we get. Sadly the vocals are drowning a bit in
the music but I can live with that.
My
favourite tracks are “Abstract Impact”, the heavy and
brutal, “Traumatized to the Bone”, “Shoreline” and
“New Race”. Especially “New Race” is great… a Speed
Metal hammer of the highest calibre with more than
stunning guitar work.
We
even get two cover songs, a hidden bonus track (guitar solo),
behind the scenes, footage from “Live in
Thailand”, biography and DVD story… and a photo gallery.
A
treat for fans of Marcel Coenen. |
