Style: There is no other album like this
Primary Emotions/Themes: A combination of ambient, metal, industrial, and experimental neo classical
Thoughts: What happens when you combine one of the most dramatic vocalists in metal with the composition prowess of Bruno Kramm of Das Ich? Well, you get one of the most unique albums in my collection.
Legend Part II is unlike any other album I've ever heard even those in the Savior Machine discography. Comprised largely of keyboard work resembling an entire orchestra with Eric's spoken word on top, the guitars and drums play a much diminished role in this opus. The entirety of the album more or less a classical piece that just happens to feature guitars from time to time.
The star of the show here though is is Eric's voice. It soars above the music and is the one constant throughout. The album is long, and goes through many twists and turns before it finally finishes. There are points where the music is a bit lackluster, however when the music is at its peak (Behold a Pale Horse) it's some of the absolute best in my collection. A unique and ultimately rewarding album.
