Night Castle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Night Castle is a future album of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra that is currently in production. It will include a version of "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, which was previewed live by the band since 2004. A release is planned for summer of 2007. In an interview with Rockmymonkey.com, Jon Oliva confirmed that he will be recording vocal parts for the album (the last Trans-Siberian Orchestra album to feature Oliva's vocals was 2000's Beethoven's Last Night). Kurdt Vanderhoof of Metal Church will also contribute guitar parts to the album. Jeff Plate, who has played with Savatage and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, played drums on Metal Church's latest album, A Light In The Dark (album).

[edit] Release

During recent performances of their 2006 tour, Chris Caffery stated that production of Night Castle is currently behind schedule, due largely to TSO's perfectionism. This delay echoes the two-year delay in the release of Beethoven's Last Night and the year-long delay in the release of The Lost Christmas Eve. The delay of Night Castle's release is also referenced in tour programs. No official statements have been made as to the expected length of the delay, and TSO has requested patience from their fans regarding the album's release.
