Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Brazilian heavy metal quintet delivers a masterful, highly technical concept album centered around an 11th-century Crusader's spiritual crisis. The sweeping orchestrations flawlessly integrate Latin percussion and traditional Brazilian folk acoustic passages into the breakneck speed and virtuosic dual-guitar shredding of European power metal.
