Vengel CD translation

Vengel is the last CD I work on in this trilogy. It is actually the second CD in the trilogy, but since I started with Maisery, I saved this one for last. I thought that this CD is my least favourite CD in the trilogy, melody wise, so I saved the least for last.... But in the end I was not disappointed by this CD, it is actually very good.
You can buy the CD here (Paspal's booth)

The cover art is made by Rin Chitose feat REL*:
This cover is beautiful. I like the contrast of black/white with the coloured rose and the ray of light.It also shows a key element of the story, Vengel slicing the flower she once loved in two.

The title of the CD is made out of 2 words: Vengeance + Angel = Vengel. Paspal has stated on their official blog that the story is based on the story "Engelen" by Andersen, which tells the story of an angel who brought deceased children and flowers to god.

You can read the story of engelen in translation by Jean Hersholt here

The story of this CD is about the life of the mechanical angel Vengel. The angel has no emotions and is sent out to bring souls from the current world to afterlife. Yet when she is given a certain job, she fails because her emotions of the past pierce through. She once was a sickly girl, who was bedridden. Her life was brightened by a flower, which she couldn't take with her to afterlife. Once in afterlife, she was not long in heaven, although she had become an angel, she was captured and her wings were cut off. She grew mechanical wings and continued to search for the flower. She finally found the flower and thought of her angelic past self, but then she realised that the past self had become the cruel angel that she now was. She wanted vengeance on god for making her cruel.... Hence she then is an angel who wants vengeance, becoming Vengel.

The order in which the songs take place is 3 - 1 - 2 - booklet text (see under 6) - 4 - 5, I recommend reading it in the normal order though, because you still will need the information from the first song to understand what happens in song 3. The order I liked the songs in is 6>1=2>3>4>5. To determine an order was very hard for me. I found most songs equally enjoyable, but I did clearly have a favourite. That one was the outro. My least favourite song was "Vengel", because the harmonies sounded off key. In general, I think Lalue actually does a decent job when she needs to hit that Ab5, which is pretty high to hit consistently!
