Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the frantic speed metal of track one into the delicate acoustic opening of the bardic themes.
The massive, wall-of-sound vocal harmonies that erupt during the title track's climactic finale.
The inclusion of real bagpipes on The Piper's Calling that bridges the gap between traditional folk and heavy metal.
