Marking their sole release for a major label, the extreme metal veterans utilized a sprawling, 80-piece orchestra and choir to realize this grandiose concept album based loosely on Milton's 'Paradise Lost'. The incredibly opulent, cinematic production effectively cemented their status as vanguards of commercial gothic bombast.
