While Khymera has been on hiatus for some time, Dennis is ready to come back with a new album, \"Master of Illusions\", which comes about four years after the release of the last album, \"The Greatest Wonder\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, the new album very much follows the logical progression of the musical path that was started when Dennis joined the project. \"Master of Illusions\" is a strong, extremely melodic release, which showcases the fantastic vocal abilities of Dennis and highlights his great skills as a songwriter and producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKhymera still offers one of the most shining examples of what great European melodic rock is all about: crystal clear production, soaring vocals, killer musicianship and songwriting that reminds fans of the heydays of the genre when bands like Giuffria, Icon, and Signal roamed the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLine-up:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVocals and Bass - Dennis Ward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuitars - Michael Klein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeyboards - Eric Ragno\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrums - Pete Newdeck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaster Of Illusions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster of Illusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sun Goes Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParadise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rhythm of My Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather to Son\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter All This Time 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVictim of Your Love 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet It Happen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"4","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50708036419880,"sku":"802439110232","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3784551-2619628.jpg?v=1763985174","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/khymera-master-of-illusions-cd-02439110232","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
