There's a storm brewing in the distance, the portent you fear
Elusive winds beckoning you closer
To a fate that awaits, to a future so bleak
There's a hell breathing fire, a world in eternal flames
Acid rain that corrodes and floods that erode
The surface of this man-made world
And there once was a dream
Of blackened skies crystallised by final peace
And oh, what a dream
Of humanity's morality so binding and true
But arm yourself in apathy, don't misconstrue.
Man and woman, child and beast,
We all dine at the devil's feast
Ignorant preachers and callous priests,
They lead us astray
Blind faith is our hell on earth
The apocalypse of fear in belief
Visions of Eden
Transcending the lie
Follow the light to a darker space
And stare into Heaven's distorted face, oh!
Burnt at the stakes, we are sinners that cannot repent
Stoned to the death by our masters who will not relent
Dying for their pious flaws,
As righteousness endures.
And there once was a dream
Of saviours laying violence to rest
And oh, what a dream
But the day will come when we all finally see...
Man and woman, child and beast,
We all dine at the devil's feast
Ignorant preachers and callous priests,
They lead us astray
Blind faith is our hell on earth
The apocalypse of fear in belief
And there once was a dream
Of blackened skies crystallised by final peace
And oh, what a dream
Of humanity's morality so binding and true
But arm yourself in apathy, don't misconstrue.

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue

Metamorphosis takes the musical artistry of this band to another level. It's not progressive,it's daring, as each musician in the band tries things they didn't try before. Obviously with Jelena adding death growls to her repertoire, but also with every song being it's own little universe but still fitting the concept of the album. This here is something you've probably never heard before. Oh, and I just can't pick a favorite song, because that changes everytime I listen to this great album. wormys_queue

As I’ve matured I have learned to appreciate power metal. The sheer symphonic showmanship of the tracks I heard is totally off the charts. WaitingfortheTurningPoint
