Sunrise in Eden… (Sensory). Review by David Lee Beowulf.
If a band takes its name from a Robert E. Howard tale, they’d better have some epic lyrical battlescapes to back it up. Symphonic metal masters Bal-Sagoth deliver on the promise of their name. David Lee Beowulf talks with swordsman – er, frontman Byron about Howard, weaponry, and metal!
Sure, there are lots of bands that play metal, and even several that play power metal, but only the Italian band Rhapsody can play Epic Symphonic Hollywood Metal! David Lee Beowülf is ready for his close-up, and guitarist Luca Turilli gives him direction.
