Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fully embracing unashamed high-fantasy theatrics, the Italian sextet's second album significantly elevated the benchmark for neoclassical power metal. Accompanied by massive choral arrangements and dizzying, baroque-inspired guitar shredding, the 'Emerald Sword Saga' narrative presented here remains a massively influential cornerstone of the symphonic metal genre.
