Album Notes & Community Reviews

Centered around an ambitious Gary Moore cover, 'Over the Hills and Far Away' acts as a highly successful transitional release for the Finnish symphonic giants. The record features soaring operatic vocals and bombastic keyboard orchestrations, signaling the conclusion of their original lineup era before the departure of bassist Sami V盲nsk盲.
