Visit 1898 London With Progressive Concept Album “The London Conspiracy Chapter I 1898” From METRO SOCIETY

Chris Mangold and Ian Ringler initially came together to explore musical realms, and their collaboration took a chilling turn when they decided to infuse a conceptual storyline based on the Paris Metro system into their music for their debut album “A Journey in Paris” (2007). After a long hiatus, they return, this time to the ominous streets of London in 1898, where the echoes of Jack the Ripper’s gruesome murders still linger. “The London Conspiracy Chapter I 1898” is an atmospheric and eerie concept album that follows an up-and-coming detective embroiled in a murder mystery. The band explains the album:

“We are going for the full album front-to-back listening experience with this album. This is a story-based album that we are hoping listeners will dive into the full album experience. The songs are really meant to be listened to together as a whole, however, we also feel that any of the individual songs could be listened to on their own and still tell their own story. Hopefully, after listeners hear one or two songs they’ll want to jump into the full album to hear the rest.”

“The London Conspiracy Chapter I 1898” is a true showcase of musicianship, each member of the band has moments throughout the songs that are rooted in the progressive rock/metal style and really show off what the band is capable of on their respective instruments/talents. Guitarist Mangold has some amazing lead guitar work in the songs “City Streets” and “Society”; vocalist George Margaritopoulos gives an impressive vocal performance throughout the album that demonstrates his dynamic range of vocal styles. The rhythm section consisting of drummer Will Mangold and bassist Ringler provides a thunderous and intricate backdrop that drives each song forward while not skipping out on complex technical nuances.

The album was produced by Chris Mangold, Ian Ringler, and Will Mangold; mixed and mastered by Rob Murray and Kyle from Wilderfox Studio in Vermont, and the album artwork was done by Harley Velasquez at Infinity Nucleart Studio.
