Our Take

Christian Elsner's latest offering, "Gordon Getty/Usher House," is a wild ride through the twisted mind of a wealthy recluse. Getty takes inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe's iconic tale, "The Fall of the House of Usher," and infuses it with his own unique brand of operatic flair.

The album opener, "Usher House Overture," grabs your attention from the get-go with its brooding strings and ominous brass section. Elsner's vocals soar over the dramatic orchestration, setting the stage for the dark journey ahead.

Tracks like "Madeline's Aria" and "Roderick's Lament" showcase Getty's masterful composition skills, creating an eerie atmosphere that is both haunting and captivating. Elsner's emotive delivery brings the characters to life, drawing the listener into their twisted world of madness and despair.

But it's on the epic finale, "The Fall of the House of Usher," where Getty truly shines. The grand choral arrangements and thunderous percussion create a sense of impending doom, building to a thrilling climax that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

In conclusion, "Gordon Getty/Usher House" is a mesmerising journey into the macabre, brought to life by the unparalleled talents of Christian Elsner and Gordon Getty. Strap in, turn up the volume, and let yourself be swept away by this operatic masterpiece.
