Shade Empire - Omega Arcane





















Band: Shade Empire
Album: Omega Arcane
Country: Finland


Release date: May 3, 2013
Genre: Symphonic Black Metal
Existed since: 1999

Review:
This is an absolute killer album. I could of course compare them to Dimmu Borgir, but there are light years of quality between DBs latest album and this one. Maybe its closer to Death Cult Armageddon.
The symphonic elements are well thought out, n fits the music perfectly. I have yet to find a dull song here, and after 20 spins or so, i still find parts i havent noticed before. My favourite song at the moment is Slumbering Giant, great transition after the excellent guitar solo.
This will certainly be found on several top lists at the end of the year.

Highly Recommended.
