VALENSIA – The Secret Album [Unreleased Album II] *Exclusive*
As requested, here’s another rarity. Aldous Byron Valensia Clarkson aka VALENSIA is well known for his overblown brand of pomp / melodic rock having released over his career precious albums in this genre. Between 2008 / 2010 Valensia composed & recorded a lot of music ought to be released as a double-album, but the project was withdrawn.
However, in 2017, Valensia decided to create a Indiegogo campaign to collect some founds for his next album, and these ‘lost’ recordings were sent digitally to contributors as a gift.
These late 2000’s albums were titled ‘Eden And The Second Serpent [Unreleased Album I]’ and ‘The Secret Album [Unreleased Album II]’ (aka Seven). Rather than being the overblown Queen-like symphonies Valensia fans have been used to in the past both albums have a somewhat stripped back sound and relatively – for Valensia anyway – fairly straight forward arrangements.
But saying that the songs are still full of delightful twists and turns that other bands would choke at.
These tracks / songs never were / are available for purchasing… a collectors item now…
