Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Italian symphonic metal masters unleash a terrifyingly dense, intensely theatrical concept album driven by staggering technical death metal musicianship. Inspired by frontman Francesco Paoli's near-fatal rock climbing accident, the deeply introspective lyricism beautifully matches the epic, triumphant scale of the orchestral arrangements. It is a wildly suspenseful, flawlessly executed heavy metal opera.
