Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the iconic, harpsichord-driven anthem 'Black Diamond', the Finnish quintet's sixth album is universally hailed as a masterpiece of European power metal. The immaculate blend of Timo Tolkki's lightning-fast neoclassical guitar shredding and Jens Johansson's symphonic keyboards firmly cemented the band's massive international popularity.
