Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Dark Wings of Steel' marks a significant transitional period for the legendary Italian symphonic metal act, standing as their first record following the departure of founding guitarist and principal songwriter Luca Turilli. Keyboardist Alex Staropoli assumed full compositional duties, resulting in an album that relies heavily on massive choral arrangements and orchestral grandeur, though slightly dialing back the blistering speed of their early work.
