When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Today I am proud, and happy to finally reveal the beautiful cover for PAINT THE SKY, the third outing of the LALU project, illustrated by the amazing Travis Smith once again—as well as the track-listing:
01. Reset To Preset
02. Won’t Rest Until The Heat Of The Earth Burns The Soles Of Our Feet Down To The Bone
03. Emotionalised
04. Paint The Sky
05. Witness To The World
06. Lost In Conversation
07. Standing At The Gates Of Hell
08. The Chosen Ones
09. Sweet Asylum (Instrumental)
10. We Are Strong
11. All Of the Lights
Can't wait to present this album to you all! I can only guarantee it's been a labor of love ❤
Now mixing LALU vocals delivered by the two talented (and badass) gentlemen on this photo (Damian Wilson, Clive Nolan)... Yes, it's happening folks!! This pandemic did not stop us 😉

LALU - Revelations feat. Jordan Rudess (instrumental)

My #2 longest song ever, now instrumental for your karaoke needs! Line-up (from A to Z): Joop Wolters – Lead guitars Jordan Rudess – Piano intro Mike LePond ...The new Shadrane single is out!
It has actually been written/recorded a long time ago (some of you probably remember my old, sloppy bass video working on the riff haha), releasing it in 2020 with a finishing touch. Two ways to get the song:
1-I've given GREEK REBELS (metal music webzine from Greece) the full, exclusive right to make the track available as a free MP3 download via their “Carving Metal Tunes Vol.6” sampler. You don't have to spend a dime to get the single. Here is the link to the CD—also a great opportunity to discover great music from other bands:

2-If you like the song, but most importantly: if you want to show us that there is a future for a potential full Shadrane release, you can also consider supporting the idea via our official BANDCAMP page and get the full, CD quality:
shadrane.bandcamp.com/track/the-swaymoon-prince
The choice is yours ❤️! Thank you so much for your support through the years, hope you like the new track/direction 🙏

“I once have sworn that I would fall in battle,
I would die with a sword in my hand,
But when this day came,
I’ve found myself begging for my life“
More Lalu previews. It continues! Fans of my debut album "Oniric Metal" should hopefully enjoy the middle part of this song.
As usual if you like what you hear, please don't hesitate to 'Like' Jelly's YouTube video, and maybe subscribe to his channel. His work on the album is nothing short of astounding—Exceptional musicians (and humans) deserve exceptional support IMHO. Thank you my friends!

I am so thankful for your wonderful, positive reactions to Damian's announcement!
#throwbackthursday
This is 'younger me' when I started the LALU project in my early 20s. My father took this photo for ONIRIC METAL's promo. I had no idea what the future had in store for this musical venture back then.
I can only say that I am really happy, and excited about what this project has become—I cannot wait for you to hear the new music. I saw some old faces in the comments, long time fans who follow me since the beginning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart; your support fuels my inspiration <3

I would like to release the following statements regarding "Paint The Sky":
"Being the son of two musicians from the 70's, and growing up surrounded by progressive music, I've always wanted to craft a true-to-its-roots progressive rock album. Now I believe the time is right. I've spent a lot of time writing out what I think this album should entail, and I truly believe the end result is as sincere as it gets. Frankly, I just can't see myself making anything else right now. Along with this new album comes a change in vocalists specifically for this lighter, more progressive album."
"Today, I am so proud to announce Damian Wilson as the lead vocalist on ´Paint The Sky’. I have been a fan of Damian since forever, and his friend for quite a long time. During the MySpace years, we discussed writing an album together about fairy tales and stuff, but it never happened. It means a lot to me that today Damian and I found the right project, and time and setting, to finally work together. His voice is truly unique, instantly recognisable, and very well suited for progressive rock. Damian is such a versatile and emotional singer. I am thrilled about our partnership."
"And don't worry – I've still got a few surprises up my sleeve for this new record from names you all know and love!"

Stay safe everybody!
I’m going to reveal the voice of ‘Paint The Sky’ very soon. Are you ready?
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to the incredible Dino Jelusick for blessing this music with his fantastic voice, bringing this part to the next level thanks to his powerhouse vocals. #quarantinejam #lalu3

Check out Joop’s beautiful bass work on the new record—did I mention how lucky I feel yet?There is nothing like writing music, and see/hear it elevated by such incredible musicians bringing their own “magic” on it.
Love to have Joop back in the project; his guitars on ONIRIC METAL were mind blowing, imho! 🙏
