Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting away from traditional fantasy themes, 'Astronomy' finds the Swedish power metal band embracing a sprawling, science-fiction and space-oriented narrative[cite: 8]. The album features sweeping symphonic metal orchestration and highly melodic, energetic performances that create a futuristic, uplifting atmosphere[cite: 8].
