Just like the albums Circles and Butterflies by The Last Things and Pathways to Wholeness by Catharsis, this album was released on the small Danish label Nordic Metal.

This is pretty unique, and in my opinion, pretty amazing prog metal. Influences from bands such as Crimson Glory and Savatage can be heard, but Lord Bane still creates an epic sort of prog metal that I have never heard any other band do. I remember reading somewhere that they recorded the drums in a church to get the right sort of echo. The drums do not sound great, but I appreciate what they were going for. It's pretty cheesy, but very dedicated in a metal way.

Yeah, the CRIMSON GLORY influences are pretty obvious, but they work on the same high level of musicianship and songwriting and- arrangement, maybe a little more into orchestration. So one shouldn't be bothered by it, but enjoy having two glorious band in that special musical niche.
