In the Shadow of the Inverted Cross

by Sorcerer

fyeahmetal For your Candlemassian needs, when you seek consistency and quality, look no further. This is weighty, regal doom with a sense of ambition that reminds me of '70s Judas Priest. "Prayers for a King", in particular, dares to scale the heights of "Dreamer Deceiver". What a massive feat of composition and execution this record is. Favorite track: Prayers for a King.

Anointing The Sick 6/11/20

Apart from spending an absolute fortune on new music during Bandcamp Friday, I've also been plugging a few gaps in the collection. This album from Sorcerer is one of them. From the Candlemass school of doom with some epic Dio thrown in.

r41n Cannot choose a favorite track, they are all great. The solo from "Lake of the Lost Souls" @ 5:42 alone is reason enough to get this album!
