Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their fourth album, the British extreme metal ensemble continues their dense, highly conceptual exploration of interstellar warfare and sprawling dark fantasy[cite: 1]. The grandiose arrangements effectively merge blistering black metal sections with triumphant power metal melodies and incredibly prominent symphonic synthesizer orchestrations[cite: 1].
