 The opening track, the splendid 'Cassandra,' is a kind of sound manifesto of everything we will find throughout the album.

 I consider it a true 'gem' in the metal landscape. Its main asset is its 'modernity': when listening to it, you wouldn't think that it's a work from ten years ago.

Theatre of Tragedy's Aégis is praised as a pivotal gothic metal album blending ethereal female vocals with hypnotic male vocals. It bridges the band's early gothic style with their later evolution, enriched by Greco-Roman mythological themes and archaic English lyrics. Standout tracks include 'Cassandra,' 'Venus,' and 'Poppaea.' The album's modern sound remains fresh even years after release, earning it a lasting place as a metal gem. Dive into Aégis and experience a timeless gothic metal journey with Theatre of Tragedy’s captivating melodies and mythic themes.
