"Ashes Beneath the Crown"

Prepare to be transported to a realm where the grandeur of antiquity collides with the raw power of the 1970s. DOMINIC ORGAN & C. A. VERLAIN – THE CONCEPT PROJECT proudly announces the release of their highly anticipated debut single, "Ashes Beneath the Crown," available today on all major streaming platforms.

This groundbreaking project emerges into the world, bringing a truly unique sonic tapestry to the global music scene. DOMINIC ORGAN & C. A. VERLAIN is a deep dive into the fusion of 1970s progressive rock and the majestic grandeur of Baroque music. The band seeks to weave medieval stories and lyrical themes into a unique soundscape, built around a historical Slovakian organ. With its majestic 16' and 32' Rieger-Kloss pedal pipes, the instrument serves as the cornerstone of their work, creating a sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and profoundly powerful.

"Ashes Beneath the Crown" is more than just a song; it's the gripping first chapter of a tragic medieval tale. The track blends mournful progressive rock with the epic resonance of a Baroque organ, setting the stage for a story of forbidden love between a noble knight and a woman condemned as a witch. With its poignant lyrics and powerful instrumental sections, the eight-minute single captures the knight's profound grief as he witnesses her fate at the pyre, an act that will forever change his destiny and set him on a path of rebellion.

"We wanted to create an immersive experience, a journey where the listener wasn't just listening to music, but feeling a story unfold," says Alexandre, the band's lyricist and spokesperson. "The organ isn't just an instrument; it's the voice of ancient cathedrals, bringing to life a narrative that explores love, injustice, and ultimate defiance."

Fans of bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, and Jethro Tull, alongside admirers of classical composers, will find themselves captivated by the intricate arrangements, soaring melodies, and the sheer emotional weight of "Ashes Beneath the Crown." This debut promises a bold new direction for progressive music, rooted in rich history and brought to life with striking originality.
