Style: dark grandiose orchestral neoclassical metal
conductor of Therion keeps surprising with his eclectic taste, building up more and more overwhelming projects - it is impossible to name this grandiose three hour long three acts creation otherwise, and regardless that it sounds as a logical sequel to previous Sitra Ahra opus, eight years dedicated to its writing process have turned into no less than 46 songs, baldly proclaimed as metal opera; it is indeed a mission close to impossible to maintain attention to such a long album, but separate parts of it make one lift an eyebrow or both, while its contents include more pure heavy metal than you might expect from all announcements; limited 48 page hardcover mediabook edition
