I find this album is fairly inspirational beyond the "epic" structure of the songs; Stormlord had existed for 17 years up to this point and had always had a good concept, but their musicianship was fairly lacking when they began. However, they kept improving with each release, and this is basically the culmination of their efforts. It impresses me when a band could exist for so long and still manage to continue to top themselves; it's more glorious than any scenario that they have ever used in any of their songs
