“Taar,” gets into the different setting almost immediately. The vocals are haunting, the music is something else entirely, shifting between the frames and the mind with ease. Setting the tone quite nicely. “The Mortal Dance of Kali,” gallops and hits hard like another motherfucker, shifting the tone, and the rhythm, it brings together different elements and combines it into a riff and monstrous sandwich. “Requiem for Salem,” moves with frenetic energy, turning and twisting through the world, and gaining traction on the wind. “Burn In Hell,” is simply epic, galloping along the world, turning and twisting into something completely new. “Andaluzia,” is something unique and fascinating. The elements explored on the acoustic guitar add some serious depth to proceedings and as the vocals come in soaring along the plains, a new feeling is embraced. “Hassan Tower,” a song that roars defiance with every breath, bringing a thunderous riff embrace into the mainstream and then turns things down and up and around throughout. “Forsaken Death,” is a riff sandwich, producing energy and grace all at once and then levelling it the fuck up.
“Eyes of Ra,” another song that fuses epic proportions together, and slowly turns the edge of the knife around. Everything within this song just smacks of awesomeness. “Gypsy Tragedy,” soars into the stratosphere, turning and twisting through. Allowing great cavalcades to come to the norm, whilst the riff monsters and gods do battle throughout. “The Red Masquerade,” slams down and hammers through everything, producing great riffs, soaring melodies, and then slamming it all together into a great mess of awesomeness. “The Burden,” works through, turning the tide, slowly bringing the elements of the east together, for something great and refreshing, allowing a change of pace and a soar. “Shokran,” thunders together, embracing chaos and the world of never ending possibilities. “Prelude of the End,” hammers in, and slowly works its way into the mind of the listener, shifting and grading into peace lightly. “Behind the Mask I,” thunders into the closer.
The album is out on 25th October via Rockshots Records.
