Beyond the Palace teaser featuring Graham Bonnet

A new fantasy project, encompassing a computer-animated movie, video game, novel and CD, is emerging from the depths of the sea on a faraway planet called Lyraka (pronounced LEER-uh-kuh).

"Lyraka - Music from a Mermaid Empire" is an allegorical epic of romance, splendor and fortitude as our hero, Neires, uncovers an enchanted electric guitar and sets off on a journey to find the mermaid in his dreams. The antagonists are Queen Lilliput who rules in her pyramid in the desert and also the demonic creatures that vie for control of Volcano Island. All the while, The Empress of Mermaids struggles to reconcile land and sea.

Lyraka is a heavy metal opera inspired by great music such as that of Richard Wagner, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, and Black Sabbath. Lyraka showcases a killer metal score written by composer Andy DiGelsomina. The CD cover features artwork by reknowned fantasy artist, Ken Kelly.
