With "Sandclocks of Eternity" the Robespierre project, based around mastermind Franz Mang, is continued with longtime ex-Jethro member Florian Opahle and a prominent studio cast including John O'Hara (Jethro Tull) and Simon Michael (Drums/Subway To Sally, Feuerschwanz). The result is a gripping work with great arrangements and a strong focus on stories and legends from old England and Germany, fusing prog rock, classic rock and Celtic folk. Already fascinated by guitar sounds and melodic prog rock in his youth, Franz Mang released his debut album "Hard Blood" as Robespierre in 1980; it was an immediate success selling over 30,000 units. From the following albums on his own label At Mango's Records, "Penguin in the Air", became a true airplay hit, and in 2008 was in the top 10 of the annual ratings of several London radio stations . Following this, Mang presented his own show, Tales From Darkest Bavaria, on LinkFM 92.2 London, speaking about legends, myths and his music every Sunday. He has also been organizing the Robespierre Woodrock Festival with up to 3,000 visitors for several years. For "Sandclocks of Eternity" the artist, shaped by his seven-year background in a monastery , began to gather ideas from religion, history, legends and philosophies into songs with a certain poetic freedom. He was able to engage the production services of his longtime friend Florian Opahlea, who can look back on 15 years of stage experience as a guitarist with Jethro Tull. Progressive guitar sounds and exciting, emotional song structures drive the 10 songs through the world of old German and English sagas.
