English symphonic/epic metal band noted for fantasy-themed lyrics, theatrical growled/narrative vocals (Byron Roberts) and lush, cinematic keyboards (Jonny Maudling). Reviews praise albums such as Battle Magic and The Power Cosmic and note long, ornate song titles and an operatic, prog-leaning approach.

Battle Magic (1998) was released on Cacophonous; The Chthonic Chronicles dates to 2006. Reviews highlight the band's blend of black/thrash attacks, symphonic keyboards and epic/fantasy storytelling.

 Jonny Maudling is the keyboardist. An extraordinary weaver of notes that have the power to lift the listener beyond the sky, beyond the clouds, among dreams... and make them sit among the immortal GODS.
