Highly anticipated 2010 album from the German Progressive Metal band. The Seraphic Clockwork is a fascinating concept album, which not only shows the quintet's exceptional technical skills, but also highlights their impressive development as songwriters. The album sounds more multi-layered, Progressive and Metal-oriented than any previous Vanden Plas release. "I think that my penchant for music of the tougher persuasion shines through more than ever before on this album," comments guitarist Stephan Lill, who - together with keyboardist Gnter Werno and vocalist Andy Kuntz - make up the group's creative triumvirate. He adds: "Hard riffs, elaborate keyboard and orchestral arrangements plus catchy hooklines come together in a perfect symbiosis which marks Vanden Plas' own style. I feel that we were much more adventurous on with The Seraphic Clockwork than ever before."
