A Multitude Of One, aka Nova Cascade guitarist Colin Powell, have announced that they will release their brand new concept album A Templars Tale on February 7. They have also shared the final track on the album The Legacy Of The Templars.
Powell describes the album as his “most ambitious project to date. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of 70s progressive rock, A Templar’s Tale echoes the grandeur of Rick Wakeman’s The Myths and Legends of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table and Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. Like these classics, the album features a narrator who weaves a compelling story, enriched by epic orchestral and choral arrangements alongside traditional rock instrumentation.
"At the heart of the album is Sir Geoffrey de Beaumont, a fictitious Templar knight, who narrates the story of the Templar’s journey. The tale unfolds through spoken passages and songs performed by Colin, merging storytelling with sweeping musical landscapes."
A Templars Tale comes with a 44-page illustrated medieval-style booklet containing lyrics and rich background lore, offering fans a deeper dive into the Templar’s world.
