If you are a fan of the first Lordian Guard album or Warlord, Uli Jon Roth, Phil Keaggy's The Master And The Musician album, etc. you'll be thrilled with this disc. It is epic, melodic, technical in a classical way, and full of neat imagery. In fact, band leader William J. Tsamis labels it dark, Medieval Epic Metal.
If you've never heard any of the above let me describe it this way. The music is not real heavy but it is really polished. There is a lot of melody throughout that you can remember when you are not listening to the album. The melodies are played quite impressively on the guitar. There is keyboard which accents the music but doesn't take away from the guitars in any way. And the female vocals, which have a flair for the dramatic, are sung in the alto range. You can just sit back, close your eyes, and be carried away while listening to this disc. The lyrics are purposefully apocalyptic in nature and are very direct. This is interesting when you note that LG has had tremendous success in the secular market in Europe and is little known to Christian audiences. The title song, "Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God" is taken from the famous 18th Century Sermon by Great Awakening preacher Jonathan Edwards. The sermon and the song both remind us that if God's love for us is intense enough that his own son should die for our sins, his wrath against our sin is equally intense and required that death. Remember, "the wages of sin is death", but what punishment should you endure if you miss out on this one?
