First album from Bal-Sagoth a band that incorporates Black-Death Metal influences and symphonic elements 

into an overall grandiose canvas, with the elaborate lyrics painting a picture of battles in an antediluvian age 

where Atlantis had not yet been destroyed and the continents were still joined in a Pangaean mass. 

A predominant feature is the use of epic keyboards played by Jonny Maudling who composes and arranges the music. 

The guitar, drums and keyboards work together as an integral entity rather like a symphonic work. 

The vocals of Byron Roberts are a mixture of spoken word and black-death metal screams 

making the songs more like stories set to music than anything else. 

Blodu Ok Jarna!
