Where can I
get the CD?

Saviour Machine - Legend II

This must be one of the best things the world has ever (or never, sadly) heard. Legend I was relatively easylistened compared to the this one, the second (oh, really?) CD in the Legend trilogy.
Symphonic-Chaotic-Apocalypse-Opera-Metal is the closest description I've heard, and chaotic is quite a keyword in the first part of the album, but that has got a reason too. The lyrics tell about an extremely chaotic age and the lyrics are as Saviour Machine's lyrics are: Perfect! The later part of the CD is a little less chaotic and even more beautiful. Most songs here gives chills down my spine, thanks to Eric Claytons wonderful voice.

I'll give you an example of the lyrics, taken from The Martyr's Cry:

Run to me, my child of light
In this your darkest hour
For I am here with you
I have cried the tears with you
My eyes bleed time and truth
Unto the eyes of the earth

This is a CD that takes quite a lot of time to get into, at first I didn't really like any other song than Behold A Pale Horse. After I have listened it through a couple times, the tide turned, and this is definitely one of the very best CD's I have in my collection and one of the best ones out there! You can't afford not owning this beautiful piece of art!

(Commets added when declared a legendary album)
A little while ago I put this CD into my player again and noticed that I had almost forgot how good it is. The last 8 songs alone are worth top score! With the most marvellous lyrics I've read in rock history, music that can't be compared to anything else and the voice of Eric Clayton, which talks right into my heart, this CD must be legendary if anyone! "The legacy lies...In His eyes...the Legend is life..."

Style: chaotic symphonic opera goth metal  
Hot shots: Every song is absolutely great, but The Martyrs Cry, The promise, The bride Of Christ and Rapture: The Seventh Seal are impossible to describe with words
Overall:
Year: 1998
