Sinfönicca - Bach’s Toccata and Fugue – The Metal Variations (Limited Edition on Clear Vinyl)

A legendary theme is reborn in thunder.

Introducing ten powerful metal variations on Bach’s titanic masterpiece. Sinfӧnicca takes the most haunting melody ever written and reforges it in symphonic metal. When Bach’s work of genius erupts in symphonic fire it’s easy to understand why he is hailed as the true father of heavy metal  

Ancient shadows awaken, the toccata becomes a tempest of steel, and the fugue burns brighter than ever. Moments of brilliant melodic invention transport the listener back to the ballrooms of Bach’s Leipzig. Then the inspired metal variations keep coming. We march on to embrace baroque twists and turns crowned in counterpoint, darkness, shredding and invention.

Forged in D minor, but tempered in baroque thunder, Bach’s iconic creation is expanded, orchestrated, cherished and celebrated by Sinfӧnicca under the musical direction of Bob Carruthers. Over one and half million listeners have delighted in this amazing set of metal variations. So why not join them today? Sinfӧnicca, melodic, sinister and powerful -  there’s none more baroque!
