Bal-Sagoth continue their
journey into the fantasy lands of their own, this time with the help of the
legend of Atlantis. Mixing beautiful melodies, bombastic orchestral effects
and symphonic black metal Bal-Sagoth has helped to create a whole new genre
that Nuclear Blast has decided to name war metal where the Norwegian and
Swedish viking metal bands like Einherjer and Thyrfing can also be found.
Something that stands clear is the fact that no other band sounds like these
British extreme metallers. They are now one of many ground-breaking British
bands among famous names such as Black Sabbath, My Dying Bride, Anathema and
Cradle Of Filth. This fifth opus proves the simple fact that Bal-Sagoth is a
band that has planned to be remembered for a very long time ahead. Even though
this is a very good release with the old trademarks of the band further
developed it is not yet perfect which makes me wish that the band continues to
work on their style and don´t call it off just yet. The things that I would
like to enhance on this album is the sound and make it even more bombastic.
That is the special effects that a band like Bal-Sagoth need to lift off
towards the magic skies of forgotten
lands.
