Behold the mystery Hidden from what we see
Is it all conspiracy? With what we're expected to be
Are there secrets behind the wall
Of those who say they hear God's Call?
Did the son have a mortal line
Or would that mean he's still divine?
Bloodlines Winding Through Time
Hiding From the Reign of Prophecy
Can We Find the Divine
Within the veils of history?
Buried secrets of times once known
The truth they say his light has shown!
Will all be lost with what is real
Will Scion's secret be revealed?
Heresy, is it inside of us?
The scriptures, only the masses trust
Peel back whats truth or lies
See behind their ancient guise
They say "the truth will set you free"
But is their secret "blasphemy"?
Bloodlines Winding Through Time
Hiding From the Reign of Prophecy
Can We Find the Divine
Within the veils of history?
Buried secrets of a time once known
The truth they say his light has shown
Will reality finally be found
Or will it bring their holy empire down?

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
