Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating without several key, long-time members, the Norwegian metal giants fully embraced bombastic, cinematic maximalism. Utilizing over a hundred guest musicians, including the KORK Symphony Orchestra and the Schola Cantorum Choir, the band constructed a colossal, over-the-top symphonic extreme metal spectacle grounded in Thelemic and occult conceptual themes.
