Product Description
Content Introduction The debut album of Majesties, a new melodic death metal band formed by Turner Anderson of OvSeek and Karl Skildum of INEXORAM, whose 2019 album "The Palms of Sorrowed Kings" caused a sensation among fans with its emotional melodies and dramatic, epic development. In the 1990s, subgenres of black metal and melodic death metal emerged, and among them, Gothenburg, Sweden, became the birthplace of melodic death metal. From here, In Flames, Dirk Tranquility, and At the Gates, who have gained great popularity in Japan, laid a major foundation for the scene that followed. Among them, the masterpiece that stands out as a landmark is In Flames' second album, "The Jester Race." Now, Majesties, who have come from America, openly declare that they were greatly influenced by this scene. They brilliantly embody the sound of the 90s melodic death metal era, incorporating sorrowful melodies and twin lead guitars while maintaining their original strengths of grand and dramatic arrangements, creating a new form of Gothenburg style. Their first single, "The World Unseen," showcases superb melodic death metal directly descended from the 90s, and the entire album, from its sorrowful melodies and twin lead guitars to its lyrical development and beauty, is a masterpiece that inherits the legacy of the landmark works that laid the foundation for the scene, down to the smallest detail.
