There are some truly ground-breaking albums that have been released in recent years. Take, for example, Opeth's monumental Blackwater Park. It was a masterful blending of death metal stylings with folk and prog. It introduced a whole new group of people to the band.
Axioma Ethica Odini should be right there next to it. While it may have yet to truly stand the test of time, I honestly believe that this, too, will be remembered as a ground-breaking album, a masterful melding of black metal with progressive rock/metal, that should introduce a whole new generation to this increasingly fascinating and brilliant band.

Album Review: Kamelot - Poetry for the Poisoned
Kamelot: Poetry for the Poisoned
Year: 2010

Kamelot blew me away with their 2005 release, The Black Halo. It was a fascinating mix of power metal, some progressive elements, and a dark edge to the entire experience. However, their follow up release, Ghost Opera, didn't quite live up for me. While I appreciated its continued emphasis on their more progressive tendencies, it just didn't click with me on the same level.
So just where does their latest release, Poetry for the Poisoned fit in? Well, that is a tough question to answer.
