Majestic and valiant album that releases all emotional tensions before the listener. Well-crafted elegant and vivid concept from artists who truly knows what they are doing. Like enormous mass of blue flames of purification cleansing one's soul.

by Thantifaxath
supported by 10 fans who also own “The Ladder”
