Fugue State
From FenWiki
Fugue State is a MOT Rock (Modular Orchestral Transcription) band specializing in Metal variants of Classical music of the 18th, 19th & 20th Centuries. Their signature piece, War God, a thunderous eight minutes requiring the assistance of thirty bass guitars and as many slightly out of tune electric guitars, truly brings G. Holst's original into the age of Total War.[1] Other pieces include Valkyrie Thunder, a scorching rendition of Ride of the Valkyrie complete with Metal Valkyrie laughter, and Mosh-Pit Macabre, a Hard Metal Speed-Waltz.
Members
- Asada Strangelove
- The Lead Guitar is a little bit of all Humanity that comes together in Pan World perfection. She's a cool cucumber with the exception of her streak of xenophilia.
- Khimera Chang
- The Second Guitar, a nerdy Chinese girl who's all Buddy Holly by way of Johnny Rotten, has a truly remarkable singing range extending from Contralto all the way up to Soprano. Also, she's a rocking guitarist!
- Suki Suki (Suki to the second power)
- The bottle-blonde, five-foot-four cutie Japanese drummer, and enthusiastic ingénue of the band.
- Dazzle Ardent
- Punk Green Orion keyboardist with spiky black hair, and a penchant for colorful verbiage.
- Aerial Cypher
- The statuesque Kenyan bassist towers above her band mates as she adds the heartbeats & backbones to the tunes.
Discography
- Metal of the Spheres
- G. Holst's The Planets revised for Metal. War God, the number that put Fugue State on the Metal Map, is called Stokowski-esque by both critics and fans.
- Frenching Metal
- Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse macabre gets a Speed-Metal reworking in Mosh-Pit Macabre. Also popular in this album is a variant of Joseph-Maurice Ravel's Boléro entitled Zipless.
- Der Rock Ring des Nibelungen : Das Rhinemetal
- A complete Hard Rock translation of Das Rhinegold that plays out like Mad Max by way of Queen. Highlights include the Rhinegrrrl's Gig and Rocking into Valhalla.
- Der Rock Ring des Nibelungen : Walküre Thunder
- A work in progress.
Notes
- ↑ The style of belligerency, not the NON work.
