Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Italian progressive doom outfit largely abandons harsh death metal vocals on this release, favoring Carmelo Orlando's emotive clean singing. The intricate, heavily layered guitar work creates a dense, melancholic atmosphere characteristic of Mediterranean gothic metal. It features a highly stylized, progressive cover of Arcadia's 'The Promise'.
