A’arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming

A curious hybrid of operatic metal, 80s covers, and an ambient-orchestral soundtrack for an occult film. Dense, theatrical, and deeply esoteric.

May 16, 1997 · Nuclear Blast

A scholarly and spiritual descent into dreamlike states through operatic grandeur and ambient stillness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The soaring operatic reimagining of Scorpions' Fly to the Rainbow which stretches into an eight-minute epic.

The transition into the instrumental soundtrack portion where the metal riffs vanish into eerie synth textures.

The choral intensity of In Remembrance setting a somber yet grand tone for the entire collection.
