Style: progressive harmonious speed power metal
arguably the magnum opus [1995] of much praised, historical progressive power/speed metal supergroup, revolutionary, grandiose and dynamic record with constant switches from aggressive drama to harmonious intricacy and vice versa was inspired by Arthurian legends and Camelot folklore - music here sounds very tight and damn well-knit, genuinely inspiring the audience with its positively haunting vibe and imagination-expanding stance; the hymnic title track is an absolutely gorgeous trademark, while the rest of the set is no less staggering and fundamental, setting a new standard for the expressive genre; recent German re-issue comes with a remastered sound, three pre-production demo bonuses, and two videos for Bright Eyes and Born in a Mourning Hall
