Album Notes & Community Reviews

Paul O'Neill and Jon Oliva conceptualized an incredibly ambitious, highly emotional rock opera set against the tragic backdrop of the Bosnian War. The heavily symphonic, wildly complex recording features massive orchestration, intricate vocal harmonies, and the full-time debut of vocalist Zachary Stevens. The massively successful instrumental track 'Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)' notably launched the incredibly lucrative spin-off project, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
