The Metal Deck, a moshpit of card games
|
Are you a metalhead and a gamer? Well, then this gem should be something right up your alley. What began as a graduation assignment in September 2013, has become an ambitious, full-fledged and multidisciplinary cross-over, combining both gaming, music and theatre. Karmaflow: The Rock Opera Videogame is the world’s first rock opera videogame, scheduled to be released on 25 November through Graviton.
Karmaflow is the result of years of hard work by composer Ivo van Dijk (Xystus, Equilibrio) and his team. Completely self-financed, self-produced and self-released, van Dijk and his team created a beast of a musical album alongside a full-fledged videogame. The Karmaflow team has finally found the time to start collaborating with Graviton Music Services and make the physical version of the album available to the audience.
The album features an all-star cast consisting of members from Cradle of Filth, Epica, Sonata Arctica, Arch Enemy, Delain, Dragonforce, Amaranthe and many more, but also the Grammy Award winning Metropole Orchestra adding a symphonic layer on top of heavy guitars and other electronic and ethnic instruments.
