TEMPLE OF SHADOWS

Quite simply, this is the best epic metal I have ever heard, period. The unbelievable blend of complexity and power just leaves me awed every time I hear it. Their albums before this, either before or after Nova Era, don't even begin to compare. I've not stopped listening to this album since it was released. Now, I realize that this is open to interpertation, so I leave this caveat: If you are looking for harsh metal, or growling, harsh vocals, this isn't the album you want. But if you like any prior Angra albums, this is the same thing, just raised to a higher level of technical and musical excellence.
