Angtoria - God Has A Plan For Us All is produced by Tommy and Chris Rehn for Virtual Symphony Productions. Is a phenomenal release, from the opening note till the end I was captivated. I still have not tired of this exuberant symphonic, melodic music and lyrics that make you want to sing along. It has a chanting feel with a gothic religious overtone which mixes perfectly to titillate the ears with wonder and curiosity of what was the catalyst for this writing. For me it could be used as a sound track score for a dark sinister film, I would go see for sure. Great lyrical writing, amazing sounds for the ear with the lead vocals sung by Sarah Jezebel Deva, amazing voice it reminds me of a deeper Amy Lee of Evanescence. Chris and Tommy Rehn- are both on guitars /keyboards/bass/and the both do the programming, the master minds of this creation. With guest appearances of Andreas Brobjer on drums, Dave Pybus on bass, Aaron Stainthorpe (vocals on “Original Sin”), Martin Haggstrom (vocals on “Deity of Disgust”), Rikard Anderson has a keyboard solo on “Deity of Disgust” and Tony Konberg leading the choir vocals. And there is a piano piece on “Confide in me” by Kevin Rehn Eires. “God Has a Plan for All of Us”, is amazing on so many levels, all the songs are excellent, and it is difficult to pick favorites for each one touches you in a different way. Songs like, “Six Feet Under”, “Hell Hath No Fury like a Women Scorn”, “What the Wise Lady Said”, “Confide in Me” hell the entire album has an infectious power to envelope you making you want to join in the chorus. All of these songs have grabbed me in their own right. The album cover and design helps with the feel of the writers and musicians. There video is also worth a watch. They have both a website and a myspace with their name. There is something here for all ages and sexes if you reminiscent of music and like to be broadened in your listening. Each track is well crafted with stellar mixes of music and flawless vocals worth every cent. It is a must listen to album. It was a pleasure for me to write this glowing review for this band! I am still blown away by how this album has moved me.
