First of the trio, &#8216;Thunder In My Soul&#8217;, manages to capture the wild, and untamed energy of the project, in a single track.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rooted in themes of history and fantasy, and loosely based on the annals of Julius Caesar, &#8216;Thunder In My Soul&#8217; sees andrew reed &amp; the liberation given Cezar a progressive rock treatment that makes him more rock god than all conquering Roman Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening foray is a pivotal moment that sees the odyssey become truly epic. With a pipe organ setting a haunting tone right from the start, classic rock power is fused with a spiritual intensity that wows the listeners. The guitar solos can be described as soaring, even statuesque, as they take the track on a plane higher than ever before. The track tears at the very seams of the universe with its larger-than-life arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video is part-real life band footage, and part animation. Cezar stands high over his subjects, a looming figure in red, sword unsheathed, winning over the masses with his hypnotic charm and massive ego. He is the great one, the all powerful. A god amongst men. It&#8217;s a great start for what is yet to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;Thunder In My Soul&#8217; below, and find out more about andrew reed &amp; the liberation and their music online on their official <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewreedmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/780Kq4x58TlLU1XU2EEdbE?si=252dad94181b4e53\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCDAcljgsZJzLkADGnQQtldg?view_as=subscriber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/andrewreedandtheliberation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndrewReedMusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andrewreedmusic\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lzLA7zoNsVM?si=T5NhjRJOHvVFSUP0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>andrew reed &#038; the liberation captivate their listeners with a prog rock trilogy following the adventures of Cezar.
