MAGORIA – JtR 1888 [Jack the Ripper RockOpera] (2019) *EXCLUSIVE*

Kip Winger’s Get Jack opera released few months ago and featured in exclusive here at 0dayrox, now has its European answer with this “JtR 1888“, by Dutch based project Magoria assembled by Knight Area’s guitarist Mark Bogert.
This new rock-opera about Jack the Ripper features 6 musicians and an incredible team of 9 singers, including the great Peter Strykes (1st Avenue, Robby Valentine), Jan Willem Ketelaers (Ayreon, Robby Valentine), Rodney Blaze (Ayreon, Star One), Peter Vink (Knight Area, Q65) and many more.

August 31, 1888, had a rainy night, it was cold and the people of London were already lighting their coal fires. The city smelled like brimstone, soot and open sewers. It was misty and along the Jewish graveyard of Whitechapel a dark pile was laying against the gate.
It appeared to be a woman, a prostitute, dead. Her throat was slit and her stomach was cut open showing her intestines. Jack the Ripper killed for the first time.
The storyline is fictional, intriguing, inspired by the Royal Conspiracy Theory.

Musically this new rock opera surprised me by its quite rocking, progressive approach, and mostly, for the quality production. It’s a real pleasure to listen to as all vocals, instruments and subtle arrangements comes clear, thanks to the very good mix as well.
Additionally, love to hear Peter Strykes singing again, and rest of the cast is marvelous too.
Highly Recommended
