Dolls of New Albion... and here I thought one of my favorite musicals was unpopular and unknown. But then FalKKonE, one of my favorite metal remixers puts his magic on it. This is a good day.
So because of this I went on and listen to to the entire album. It's really great, I highly recommend it, if you have time listen to it - you know, not like having it background while you focus on other things, but actually listen to it.
Jeeeesuuuuus this is epic! I love Paul Shapera's stuff and it's always nice to see that someone else has made covers of his music as well (I made a cover of Elysian Night from the same album a month ago!). This cover honestly gave me shivers, I love it!
My writing partner sent me this today! I just got him to listen to the first album, and he's loving the whole thing. Thank you for bringing it to the attention of more people! Sounds amazing!
This is incredible, I've been a fan of Paul Shapera's work for about as long as this has been out and I can't believe I've missed it for this long. I need M O R E

Hey, FalKKonE, that's an awesome arrangement and quite a surprize. I listened to this opera long ago and thought if anyone would ever make a metal version of their songs. As it turned out, yes! Steampunk and Metal are absolutely great in conjunction, and I'm a huge fan of your work :) Also, vocals are great and Instrumental sounds absolutely wonderful! But is there a chance at an instrumental version of this?
You should seriously do more of Shapera's songs, *Blood Red Dogs* off Dieselpunk Orchestra, *Day They Come* off Steampunk, or *Hello Helen* off Gadfly would all be phenomenal options.
Holy Shit! Metal is my favourite genre and you just made it 10 times better! Great work dude! Wouldn't you mind doing Mewtwo's battle theme (Don't know what it's called) from the first pokemon movie?
I prefere these cover when there is not only metal instrument, i like these cover when you add violon, piano or other instrument, it make a good synergie

Greetings from Crete!
Enjoy my fav song I did with Rena so far!
Also, check the original opera, it's awesome - the links are in the description!
Omg you're in my country? :O
Hope you're enjoying your time!
Sadly I'm in Athens T_T
OMG ! Where are you ? I'm from Crete
FalKKonE Rondo of blood metal cover
Tears of blood *
You should check out the music from the game 'Bendy and the ink machine' would be awesome if you covered that
Dolls of New Albion... and here I thought one of my favorite musicals was unpopular and unknown. But then FalKKonE, one of my favorite metal remixers puts his magic on it. This is a good day.
Still a good day for revisiting this.
For the love of god, please do more Dolls Of New Albion covers
I second this!

HOLY OBSCURE COVER FROM A HIDDEN GEM OF A CONCEPT ALBUM, BATMAN!! I stumbled upon this album years ago and to this day wish it was an actual musical.
Er...I'm pretty sure it is an actual musical? I've seen videos of it being performed on UA-cam.
It is. There are quite a few recordings on youtube.
There have been a few productions of it.
Jeeeesuuuuus this is epic! I love Paul Shapera's stuff and it's always nice to see that someone else has made covers of his music as well (I made a cover of Elysian Night from the same album a month ago!). This cover honestly gave me shivers, I love it!
You say that almost as if you aren't recording with him for the next album.
Pffft ya got me. But first and foremost I'm a huuuuuge fan of Paul and all of his music!
Kerttu Aarnipuu HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING! You absolutely KILLED it!
awWWW thank you so much!!!
Congrats on getting to work with Mr Shapera! I can't wait to hear the new album :DD. Subscribed.
Damn, never imagined this song sounding like this... I heckin' love these musicals and to hear a metal twist just made me shiver.
Needs more views because your cover and the origional are severly underrated.
You know, Annabelle Raises The Dead would be badass in metal.
When I didn't think my favorite musical of all time could get any better...you ramped it up to another level. This is absolutely incredible.
My writing partner sent me this today! I just got him to listen to the first album, and he's loving the whole thing. Thank you for bringing it to the attention of more people! Sounds amazing!
Your collabs with Rena are a blessing
This will make a fine addition to my collection!
Hello there
I am a complete sucker for steampunk, opera and metal.
This is *such* a good day to be me. =)
I didn't know about the original before, so thanks for making this!
OH MY GOD DIDNT THINK YOU'D HAVE EVER DID A METAL VERSION OF THIS. AM SHOOK.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DOLLS OF NEW ALBION
This cover is amazing! Heard the Opera a few weeks ago for the first time and it was awesome Keep up the good work, both of you! :D
This is incredible, I've been a fan of Paul Shapera's work for about as long as this has been out and I can't believe I've missed it for this long. I need M O R E
...Well here's something I didn't know I needed in my life, I loved the original but this take on it is amazing and I hope you'll do more XD
Several hundred years before
A gambler and a monk embarked
On a long trek through the endless prairies of the North
They had a fierce debate
About ¬¬Gd and chance and fate
and to resolve it agreed a game of cards indeed be played
The game went on all day
And through the next and next they played
And around them a shelter was built to shield the rain
A street around the shelter formed
Then a church, a house, a bar
And that is how the city of New Albion was born
New Albion today
With bustling streets, machines, cafes
And the nice, the wise, the eccentric and insane
The Mafia’s run by
A red haired dwarf with just one eye
Whose affairs he decides with a pair of silver dice
Over the Zeppelin Union Pilots
A castrati boss presides
And we hear his song each afternoon as he flies by
There’s prisons made of lead
And gargoyles of iron shreds
And Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead
Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead
The Lodge on Ashland Street
Is where the Alchemists Guild meets
And to join you have to craft a glass pearl from a young girl’s dream
A group of thieves they heard
Broke in the lodge to steal the pearls
But In the morning they were found there sitting staring unperturbed
The twilight fog they say
An aphrodisiac contains
Nonsense, but yet they copulate in doorways anyway
There’s inventors and inbred
In upper class it’s been said
And Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead.
Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead.
Why have I never seen this!? This is a masterpiece of a cover. Thank you so much.
He did it, the absolute madman!
Great performance and no less brilliant vocals. Your duet is just amazing. Please continue in the same spirit. With love from Russia.
I'm supposed to sleep why am listening to intense music?
Oh well *continues to headbang*
Da Dragon Durp Exactly! *begins to slam head to the wall
FalKKonE's fav song with Rena and my fav collab on the whole YT. Keep it up! MORE MORE MORE...! :D
God, I love this! It'd be interesting to see what other songs by Shapera would sound like in this style :3
After so longggggg. Finally. It was worth the wait tho. Sounds awesome dad o/
Wow it's your video that I like the most :o I take my hat off to both of you !
Little did you know - the Gambler and the Monk were playing Yu-Gi-Oh.
omg this is fantastic
wow that's beautiful nothing else to say, just beautiful
Blood Red Dogs from The New Albion Radio Hour would be great.
I love this! This is awesome!
pure genius!
Do you know that phenomenon when good music gives you goosebumps? I didn't have that for a long time until now...
Excelente Teamwork.
STRAIGHT OUTTA LEFT FIELD!!!!! I didn't think I would see anyone cover the best...and only... steam punk opera
This is awesome
Hey, FalKKonE, that's an awesome arrangement and quite a surprize. I listened to this opera long ago and thought if anyone would ever make a metal version of their songs. As it turned out, yes! Steampunk and Metal are absolutely great in conjunction, and I'm a huge fan of your work :)
Also, vocals are great and Instrumental sounds absolutely wonderful! But is there a chance at an instrumental version of this?
Amazing!
On point my dude
I would absolutely pay good money for this opera fully done in this style, goddamn.
that was so lovely oh my god,,,,
HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK
THANK YOU SO MUCH RIGHT IN TIME FOR MY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Rena Thanks so much! You have beautiful voice?
I would sell my soul for more covers of New Albion
I've never heard of this song, but it sounds awesome.
I’d recommend some of the later new Albion stuff to cover. Especially Blood red dogs, that would fit perfectly.
You should seriously do more of Shapera's songs, *Blood Red Dogs* off Dieselpunk Orchestra, *Day They Come* off Steampunk, or *Hello Helen* off Gadfly would all be phenomenal options.
Thanks to Falkkone & Rena we have enough metal for the engineers in the workshop.
Nice one!
I would be glad if you considered remixing Raise Your Flag by Man with a Mission, from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans.
The Shaperaverse is awesome!!!!
Holy crap. This was amazing. Steampunk metal!
For the love of Elysium, please cover the other New Albion songs! This is excellent! ❤️❤️❤️
And that's how i became compelled to listen to an hour and a half long opera.
but t'was a good listen, ayy
FalKKonE absolutely loved it
OHHH MY GAWD ITTTSSS AWESOME!!!
Holy Shit! Metal is my favourite genre and you just made it 10 times better! Great work dude!
Wouldn't you mind doing Mewtwo's battle theme (Don't know what it's called) from the first pokemon movie?

Well, it's the first song of a whole opera, you can check it out.
The full album isn't metal, but it is really good listening for an hour road trip.
Just check out the rest of the guy's production. You're going to need longer road trips...
