Greeks have always had a fascination with the stars. Their ancient forebears glanced up at the night sky and decided upon themselves to give names derived from their mythological traditions to the constellations that they observed. One such name which remains with us today is Cassiopeia who was also a particularly self absorbed queen in Greek mythology. Melodic death outfit Nightfall's latest release, and second since their reformation in 2010, lyrically hinges on human arrogance and such conceited nature as that of queen Cassiopeia, which earned her a position over our heads as a constant reminder of our own vanity.

Not bad but a little bit more diversity would be welcome.

Aetherian, Rotting Christ, The Elysian Fields, Mistveil, On Thorns I Lay, Varathron, Ocean Of Grief... I guess I've never listened to more Greek music in my whole life than in the last few weeks.
Coincidence or not, but most of the aforementioned bands carry some particular vibes that appeal to me. Even this album, probably one of the weakest efforts in Nightfall's long history, was fun to listen to.

But now off to 'Iris (And The Burning Aureole)' - first Nightfall track I ever stumbled upon but still my favorite one.

Hail to Hellas!
