Daydream XI Launches PledgeMusic Campaign For New Album

Brazilian progressive/power metal outfit Daydream XI has launched a PledgeMusic crowdfunding campaign for an upcoming concept double album titled "The Circus of the Tattered and Torn."

The campaign - available here - will span the next 60 days, giving fans access to exclusive PledgeMusic items including personalized postcards, signed CDs, songbooks, music lessons, personalized ring tones, intimate concert experiences and more.

The new music will be delivered to Pledgers in June, months before the general album release. 5% of any money raised after the goal is reached will benefit The Wild Animal Sanctuary, the world's largest carnivore sanctuary, home to hundreds of wildlife rescued from captivity.

Daydream XI commented: "We are launching a PledgeMusic campaign so that we can connect with the fans directly, with exclusive materials and some really cool items for anyone who pledges. From Skype lessons to personalized ringtones, from a barbershop choir thank-you-message to even songbooks entirely transcribed by ourselves, we have put a lot of effort in creating this so that all Daydreamers can have a one-of-a-kind experience with Daydream XI and get to be a part of this circus of freaks. And you can get your hands on the album before everyone else does.

"'The Circus of the Tattered and Torn' is the follow-up to Daydream XI's debut album. It is a conceptual double album with great doses of progressive, heavy and deeply emotional music, tinkering with a dark concept regarding the flawed humanity in us all. The songs are heavier and more dynamic than they were before. It shows a lot of new sides of every one of the four members of the band - going from chaos to order, from light to dark, from soft to heavy, just like a circus performance."
