CRIMSON

I am not a fan of death metal vocals, having listened to the sequel of this masterpiece I realised how light going this actually is in comparison. I actually could understand the lyrics, which helped no end. I've run this about 50 times through the player and I still listen to it the whole way through. It's never boring, the chords perhaps are quite simplistic although a few riffs really stand out such as at this 16 minute mark, and the 25 minute one reprised again at minute 35. The story really attracted me to the piece immediately, and not being one to shy away from length and much enjoying the longer single song albums, I had no choice but to investigate what many praised as the best/ one of. And is it ever.
