The trees bequeath me
The essence of stillness inside me
Entangled in mystery
Let loose with a hope to be free
An elemental being
Force the hand of change to see
Cry out brought forth from the shadows
As we step through life that is hallowed
I rise the forest starts to shiver
The light of life starts to quiver
Shadows on the green
Surrounding you and me
Throughout the misty haze
Like magic made in dreams
Shadows of the life
That calls out to me
We walk hand in hand
Towards a future that seems to be
Awakened from slumber
And born with a will to be
Eyes like midnight that are bewitching
As your love calls out to me
In solitude you were there
Standing with a twinkling stare

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
