Album Notes & Community Reviews

Embracing a more varied, multi-genre approach, the symphonic metal veterans incorporate unexpected guest features, notably hip-hop artist Xzibit and former Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen. The record's title metaphorically refers to its many stylistic heads, blending towering orchestral bombast with accessible rock hooks.
