Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Bal-Sagoth transcend all boundaries, striding over the limitations of the black metal genre like a great steel-thewed colossus. The mammoth Bal-Sagoth engine is fuelled with the mana of genius; epic and baroque sagas of darkest fantasy & science fiction set against a stirring orchestral metal soundtrack, multifaceted and exciting stories given the spark of thespian life and resonating within this grandiose musical soundscape... the key to a sublime artistic odyssey taking listeners on a journey to the infinite realms beyond. This is pure sinister and bombastic art the likes of which the world has never before seen! The peerless power of the mighty Bal-Sagoth is truly a wondrous and sublimely disturbing thrill-ride for all those brave and imaginitive souls who have ever craved music which is exciting, entertaining, enchanting and wholly enthralling! No other band captures the imagination like Bal-Sagoth... no other band has carved for themselves such a unique place in the annals of musical history, reigning supreme as the true kings of bombastic baroque Britannic battle-metal! All hail Bal-Sagoth!

This is a fantastic CD. Its intense, beautiful, catchy, powerful. . . I mean its got all the aspects that I would want in a band. You might have to be a nerd/geek (like me) to not get annoyed by the lyrics, which are nerdy and geeky. . . lol. . . oh well.
Pros:
Guitars: I only have two CD's of theirs, this one and the Power Cosmic, but I plan on getting Battle Magic soon. Anyway, based on those two CD's this one has more intense guitars. They sound a little deeper, they are, ...

if you want a really cool trip, put this album on! one thing is for sure, these guys are super smart, because the titles have alot of fancy words in them. unlike "The Power Cosmic", the guitar and keyboards work together, without one overpowering the other. think of these guys as Kovenant on steroids. Bal Sagoth is another band that proves that black metal doesn't have to be about Satan.

I like this album. I've listened to it twice now and I know something is there, but it's so thick I haven't found it yet. If you want to challenge yourself with this type of black fantasy metal go for it, if you're looking for something more accessible maybe start with Atlantis Ascendant.

Listening to the 6th studio effort by this band, you might start to think that they are repeating themselves yet again. But the more you listen, you realize that even though it's still the same thing they do over and over, they add sufficient dynamics to keep the songs fresh. A movie score-like number sets the ground for this record, and from there the band does their absolute best to mesmerize us with their best songs in years. Pompous, brilliantly orchestrated symphonic battle/black metal with an ...
