the title of tenth studio album correctly refers to a sea-related concept story, but it evolves around another character than a famous Portuguese explorer, maintaining as creative and intricate approach as anybody would expect from this super-talented and forward thinking entity - their bombastic orchestrated metal has been quite unique at the time, borrowing the structuring details from classical music, masterfully adopting the drama in hard'n heavy music context, sticking a rock opera tag to it, while both Chris Caffery and Al Pitrelli make sure guitar department sounds as lush and effective as in good old times; authentic German edition comes with thirty two page booklet, featuring full story and additional illustrations
