Echoes of Bronze – Ilium 2023


ILIUM was inspired by Homer’s Iliad and Quintus Smyrnaeus’ Fall of Troy; it was recorded in multiple studios around the world during 2022.

Forged as a Metal Opera featuring very special guests from both sides of the columns of Herakles, ILIUM combines melodic storytelling with the aggression of Metal to deliver a dramatic and nostalgic experience about valour, glory and the cost of war.
