DeBaser’s reviewers clash over Luca Turilli’s solo output. One trashes King of the Nordic Twilight as predictable and self-satisfied, praising only vocals and production. Another hails Prophet of the Last Eclipse for its epic hooks, arrangements, and tracks like Demonheart. A third finds The Infinite Wonders of Creation elegant but less guitar-driven, noting Bridget Fogle’s prominent vocals and a shift toward keyboards.
