Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a significant revitalization for the German symphonic metal veterans, 'Neverworld's End' introduces classically trained soprano Manuela Kraller as lead vocalist. The record abandons the lighter gothic rock elements of their mid-2000s output in favor of grandiose, cinematic orchestrations, heavy power metal riffing, and complex, multi-part choral arrangements.
