Alas! The majestic Bal-Sagoth have unleashed their sixth opus on humanity! After a six year wait I can honestly say it is by far their greatest epic, bombastic battle metal at its finest.
1: The Sixth Adulation Of His Chthonic Majesty
2: Invocations Beyond The Outer-World Night
3: Six Score And Ten Oblations To A Malefic Avatar
4: The Obsidian Crown Unbound
5: The Fallen Kingdoms Of The Abyssal Plain
6: Shackled To The Trilithon Of Kutulu
7: The Hammer Of The Emperor
8: Unfettering The Hoary Sentinels Of Karnak
9: To Storm The Cyclopean Gates Of Byzantium
10: Arcana Antediluvia
11: Beneath The Crimson Vaults Of Cydonia
12: Return To Hatheg-KlaHighlights include
Arcana Antediluvia and
The Obsidian Crown Unbound, (reaching hights of grandeur not seen since
Starfire Burning Upon the Ice Veiled Throne of Ultima-Thule and
The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire Part II but this is really an album that deserves to be played from start to finish.
All hail Bal-Sagoth, barbarian metal kings! I dont think this one will be leaving my play list for a very long time.
