Stormlord - The Gorgon Cult

(Click to see larger)

To start the year a classic album for me. Stormlord is a Blackened Epic Metal band from Italy. The group uses keyboards to give their songs a epic, melodic sound and atmosphere. There is the occasional female singer part in some of their songs, adding a Gothic feel.

Style: Melodic/Symphonic Black Metal
Origin: Italy
Lyrics: Mythology, supernatural, war, epic themes
Year: 2004

The band first started out as a Death Metal band. Cristiano Borchi used to be a writer for the Italian "Metal Shock" magazine, but now is the chief editor for Rock Hard Italy.
