The wizard stands in his tower
Full of hubris and drunk on power
Alchemy, Mystery, And Mastery
The elements are now set free
Through the portal he will transverse dark dimensions
Standing his ground with nefarious intentions
Another wizard will follow his way
To bring him to justice
For transgressions he's made
To the tower of Eibon he will go
Evidence of dark gods worship it will show
Sorcerers at war who will survive
While making the grotesque and surreal come alive
Jump jump jump through the gate
A warped reality is our fate
Final Confrontation it will test
Who's inner will is at it's best
The Resistance Is Due
---------------------------------------------
They can try to take me down
As they spread their fear around
I will resist tyranny
I will condemn I will be free
Freedom is a hard price to pay with your life
I can feel it, I can see it, I can hear it
I will survive
Their attempts to take ahold of me
Won't get the best of me
Control they want of the human race
Greed and avarice will explode in their face
Explode in their face!!!

I like this one as much as I like the first one, and I like Utopia quite a bit! Quality proggish Trad, great singing, not wanky, and even some Tolkien. Great! Tim McLelland

The artwork and title might mislead you to thinking this is a goofy album. Don't be fooled. It is some seriously beautiful art-rock progressive metal. On the current scene, I think of bands like IQ and Porcupine Tree, and like those bands, HoC draws in classic 70s prog influences in a completely modern and non-retro way. MindOverFour

Hades have raised and now we have Apokalyps, a mix of chaotic scenarios but not less heavier, thrashy and powerful, a perfect cocktail for the end of days.
Luckily there will be another day to play this album MediZen
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023

I just discovered this band. All aspects are exceptional: vocals, instruments, composition. If I had to say what it sounds like, I would say a more metal Kansas, with Queen like guitar parts, and Blind Guardian-like sense of orchestration and story telling. The connection to 70s prog (in a lot of aspects) makes this such an enjoyable journey. MindOverFour
