Le' rue Delashay - REVALATIONS OF WAVE & FORM

Greetings Ghouls,

Today I'd like to share with you all the magical music of the wonderfully wicked composer Le' rue Delashay. A truely gifted musician, Delashay writes some of the most haunting classical music I've ever heard. His 4th and most recent solo album "The Revelations of Wave & Form" is by far his most impressive release to date. Abandoning the electronic synthesizer sounds of his previous release, "Revelations" embraces the traditional ochestral voices, creating a more realistic symphonic sound and contriving many memorable themes akin to the works of Jerry Goldsmith (THE OMEN) or John Williams (STAR WARS).  

Le' rue Delashay's work has been featured on dozens of CDs, albums, and DVDs, as well Haunted Houses, Films, and commercial enterprises. Recently, Delashay has been composing music for films such as "33 Griffin Lane", "The Book of Lore", "The Deviants", and "Blood Deep" among others. Le' rue currently works as a technical advisor to some of Hollywood's elite composers, and also works as an Orchestrator in Los Angeles.

VAN HELSING’S CURSE is a musical journey through a vast library of haunting compositions that transport the listener to the frightening world of the Van Helsings. Drawing inspiration from such familiar horror composers like Mike Oldfield (The Exorcist), Jerry Goldsmith (The Omen), John Carpenter (Halloween), VHC delivers a heavy, doom metal sound that when merged with their orchestral instruments creates the perfect balance between the genres of metal and classical, or as I like to call it Symphonic-Metal. The 18 piece VHC orchestra offers a wide range of music that will satisfy the young and old, and the classical and metal fans, alike.

Credited as being the mastermind behind VAN HELSING’S CURSE concept and story, Dee Snider (TWISTED SISTER) has created a masterpiece with Oculus Infernum. Each track opens like a chapter to a story with a narrative from Snider. He tells the tale of the ongoing battle between the descendants of Van Helsing and the omnipotent Evil One.

The songs on Oculus Infernum are mostly instrumental, focusing largely on the featured soloists to determine the songs mood. In place of a vocalist, VHC utilizes choral arrangements sung in Latin by their druids to add another element of classical composition to their songwriting style. There is a creative rephrasing of song “Black Sabbath” which substitutes Ozzy Osbourne’s infamous lyrics with guitars, violins, and operatic vocals. There is also an excellent rendition of the song “Cry Little Sister” (a Goth fave made popular by the LOST BOYS soundtrack) where Dee Snider adds his vocal talents to the already massive sound of VHC, surpassing the original with their clever cover.
