An overall concept as perfect thought could not be! Captivating, intense and profound !!!

Lord Of The Lost have already proved with their first album "Fears" that they, despite debut back then, far from being "small amateur band" are. (Here you will certainly also singer Chris Harms' broad experience in several other band projects to Good.) And "Antagony" sets now properly a plan.

"Big" sound. And an artwork and concept in the booklet and cover that duly deserves respect and for hours, if not days can employ to decrypt it. And I should definitely mention the special design of the booklet! It involves a Faltbooklet which unfolds really revealing only by the "real" opening as per instruction (in the true sense).

Since almost a week, I must this now call my own and am still so very faszniert as the first day.
Runs not only through the aforementioned fantastic artwork a common thread throughout. The songs and their sequence on the album only show such to be clear.
With "Preludium: About Love, Death & The Devil" - a sort of intro and yet at the same time been an entire song - opens up the journey through "Antagony" and ends with "Reprise: Sober" again, which in the end than nothing Another is, as a second part of the intro, which now but much more than skin deep. The circle closes. And these two songs to fit like a frame around all the other and keep them together. (This is reflected by the way again in the booklet resist.)

At all other songs I can say that they hunt the listener through those topics that everyone knows just summarize: sin, the question of the meaning of life, religion and the truth behind them, love and obsession and all the abysses, the life the holds ready. It goes through highs and lows and increases thereby steadily from song to song, until it culminates with "Revelation 13:18" in his absolute peak, a song that as much as 10 minutes and 53 seconds!

To again summarize to say:
An overall concept as perfect thought could not be! Captivating, intense and profound !!!
And my only criticism of it is now that I can not find a point absolutely, I could criticize and on which I could still ride around now. ;)

So yes: BUY !!!
