It's 2011, and this latest release from Saracen is another concept album, carefully crafted around the life and times of that ultimate Hollywood icon - Marilyn Monroe. This opus charts her rollercoaster life, from young orphan to worldwide superstar... and beyond. As with Saracen's previous album (VOX IN EXCELSO) the storyline does not shy away from the darker recesses of history; in this case Marilyn's problematic life... and untimely death. MARILYN is a beautiful recording, full of finely honed rock music, powerful ballads and passionate vocals, each song perfectly represents the stages in her life. In short: a masterpiece. Guest musician Robin Beck, Steve Overland, Issa!
