In 1998, Peterson and his team Jan-Eric Kohrs, Michael Soltau and Carsten Heusmann re-invented the project to perform popular songs in the Gregorian style. The criteria for song selection were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be translatable into the 7-tone scale. For each album, songs were carefully chosen in addition to original songs written by Jan-Eric Kohrs, Amelia Brightman and Carsten Heussman. Twelve vocalists - previously acclaimed session and choir singers - were then hired to record the tracks. Each Gregorian album is initially digitally tracked at Nemo Studios, Peterson's Hamburg studio. The vocalists then record their parts in a church atmosphere with dimmed lights and candles, in order to escape what Peterson referred to in a 2001 interview as the "cold and technical" studio atmosphere. The concept proved to be successful, and the group proceeded to record several more Masters of Chant albums in the same style, and have been successfully touring throughout Europe and Asia for over 10 years. Their album, The Dark Side of Chant, was released on 15 October 2010 in Europe and is now available for sale in the United States. Review: A solid and enjoyable piece of work. - Gregorian is a German rock band, who performs covers of popular songs and original material in the Gregorian chant style. That being said, if you are looking for traditional Gregorian chants, this may not be for you. If you enjoy great music that is performed by musicians who really know their craft, and are open to something different, you will enjoy Gregorian.. The music is soothing and relaxing. The cover of Unheilig's "Geboren zu Leben" sung in English as "Born to Fell Alive" is simply amazing. The album"Dark Side of the Chant" is a more up tempo collection from other Gregorian works.This album includes a unique and enjoyable cover of ACDC's " Hell's Bells" I believe this cover rivals the original. Overall, this album is a solid piece of work. Review: If you like Gregorian Chant, check this out! - The title intrigued me, so I checked it out. I love Gregorian Chant anyway, so what did I have to lose?? I was pleasantly surprised! Some tunes were very familiar, some I didn't know at all. And it was so neat to see the familiar ones taking so well to the Chant arragement. Madonna's "Frozen", and Evanessence's "Bring Me To Life" are two of my favorites here. The latter isn't as edgy as the original, but still sooo deliciously dark... "O Fortuna" I had heard in a more classical arragement, I definitely like this one a lot! Definitely something off the beaten path! If you like that kind of stuff, then check this one out. I'm glad I got it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00444OGM6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,129 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #18,959 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (202) | | Date First Available | November 4, 2010 | | Label | STWAT | | Manufacturer | STWAT | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.59 x 0.39 x 4.92 inches; 3.53 ounces | ## Images ![Dark Side Of The Chant - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BaPWevwoL.jpg) ![Dark Side Of The Chant - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bNwBx+3bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid and enjoyable piece of work. *by J***R on November 28, 2017* Gregorian is a German rock band, who performs covers of popular songs and original material in the Gregorian chant style.
