Album Notes & Community Reviews

Christofer Johnsson pushed the boundaries of his symphonic metal project by enlisting an actual symphony orchestra rather than relying on synthesized strings. 'Deggial' is an incredibly dense, operatic achievement, heavily blending complex classical choral arrangements with slow, crushing progressive metal riffs and esoteric, occult-focused lyricism.
