Album Review: Le Cygne Noir – Shadow of a Wrecking Ball

Le Cygne Noir,”Shadow of a Wrecking Ball” (Anger Management Records)- This darkly memorable offering is a concept album which takes  as its rather unlikely premise the possibility that life on Earth as we know it could end and be supplanted by a zombie apocalypse. The enigmatic Le Cygne Noir’s ambitious musical exploits  are aided and abetted by a star studded array of gothic rock stalwarts including The Mission’s Wayne Hussey and Simon Hinkler and All About Eve vocalist Julianne Regan as he indulges his passion for the collected works of Pink Floyd, Rush and  veteran American filmmaker John Carpenter.Fascinating stuff.
