This "Act V" thus vividly confirms all Casey Crescenzo's talent to deliver an exciting work without any dead time, with an extremely personal signature, essential for any progressive rock music lover in the broadest sense. Casey Crescenzo's score at the microphone is wonderfull: without having a singular timbre or a breathtaking vocal range, his interpretation is extremely sincere and accurate, varying styles from the soft to the scoundrel - there's even Vincent Furnier in 'The Haves Have Naught'!
The release of Act V comes a year after Act IV: Rebirth In Reprise. In this respect, we must underline the importance of the Awesöme Orchestra, the true sixth member of the group, which brings a very particular colouring to the universe of The Dear Hunter, a colouring supported by a remarkable choral work giving a rare depth to the ensemble. The Dear Hunter and multi-instrumentalist vocalist and songwriter Casey Crescenzo have announced their new album Act V: Hymns With The Devil In Confessional, out September 9 on Rude Records. The opus doesn't offer flamboyant solos or extended developments, but shines by its coherence and its sense of narrative, elements reinforced by particularly careful transitions, often orchestral, which are musical pieces in themselves. Revisiting the 50's ('The Most Cursed of Hands / Who Am I', started very southern country), 60's ('Mr Usher On His Way To Town', impeccable in its jazzy style with little girls' choirs), 70's ('Light', which could have been signed by Simon & Garfunkel), Sometimes very close to the musical ('The Haves Have Naught'), The Dear Hunter navigates with ease in the styles, without ever losing sight of a very catchy melodic side ('Melpomene'). But as the very offbeat ending of this doublet shows, Casey doesn't make the mistake of confining himself to the symphonic progressive rock style alone, but allows himself to take us on a tour of several landscapes and eras. If for some, the term "symphonism" is synonymous with boredom or mannerism, the beginning of this Act V will quickly and fully reassure them: the sequence of the magnificent vocal theme of 'Regress' and the superbly lyrical 'The Moon/Awake' crucifies the listener, taking him away like towards the land of shivers. The two albums are thus almost twins: not surprisingly, we find the same symphonic ambiences composed with extreme care and very finely orchestrated. In 2015, the combo grouped around its songwriter-multi-instrumentalist (vocals, keyboards, bass, guitar) released Act IV, followed in 2016 by an Act V "Hymns With The Devil In Confessional" recorded in the same vein. The Dear Hunter story (the life and death of a young man at the dawn of the 20th century) was put on hold for six years, used by Casey to develop a second concept ("The Colour Spectrum", 9 albums) and a "non-concept-album" ("The Migrant", 2013). What started out as a side-project took the name Dear Hunter. Approached in 2004 by the Boston band The Receiving End of Sirens following the departure of their singer in 2004, he joined the band, participated in two albums and wrote a demo that he recorded in about ten copies.
He has pleaded not guilty to those charges as well.For most of us, the name Casey Crescenzo doesn't (wrongly) mean much. The domestic terrorism hate crime charge carries an automatic life sentence. He also faces a parallel state prosecution on charges including hate-motivated domestic terrorism, murder and attempted murder as a hate crime. It also includes 13 counts of using a firearm in a hate crime. The federal indictment charges Gendron with 10 counts of hate crimes resulting in death, three counts of hate crimes involving an attempt to kill three people and another hate crime count alleging he tried to kill other Black people in and around the store. Authorities seized additional ammunition and firearms accessories from his home. It includes the Bushmaster XM-15 semi-automatic rifle used in the shooting and a 12-gauge loaded shotgun and loaded bolt-action rifle and ammunition taken from the car. The indictment seeks the forfeiture of an extensive arsenal recovered from the shooter's car and home. He wrote as far back as November about staging a livestreamed attack, practiced shooting from his car and did reconnaissance on the store two months before carrying out the plans, according to the writings.
