Telergy Explained

Telergy is an American progressive metal/rock music project based in New Hampshire, formed by singer and multi-instrumentalist Robert McClung in 2009. Telergy has had a number of well-known guest musicians, such as Dee Snider, Joe Hoekstra, Trent Gardner, Colin Edwin, Nik Turner, and many more.^[1]

History

In 2009, McClung came up with an idea that he could tell a story about an historical event through classically inspired music.

In 2011, The Exodus was released, a story about the age-old biblical tale told through music.^[2]

In 2013, Legend of Goody Cole was released, telling the story of Eunice Goody Cole, "Hampton's most prominent witch".^{[3] [4] [5]}
