Odes For Victory

by Ordalia

fleba_il_fenicio Music serves as a symbol of passion for the art form, paying homage to classic heavy metal and encapsulating the finest elements from the legends and stories of our youth. "Merlin and Vivienne" is my favorite track, as it hovers in the mist of ages, bridging the dreams of yesterday with the robust sound of daily existence, aptly captured by a heavy metal anthem like "Doomed." From the album's cover to the final pluck of the strings, I am committed to this labor of love. Favorite track: Merlin And Vivienne.

666mrdoom One of the best Epic Doom Metal albums. Favorite track: Doomed.

Einherjar This is awesome crushing Epic Doom \m/

A massive album, with fantastic songwriting, top musicianship, and a crushing execution!

If you like anything between Into Glory Ride era Manowar and Manilla Road, buy this!

All hail Ordalia!

EDIT: You can hear that they work for the love of art and create music like skilled craftsmen. Every detail is carefully considered, and every note finds its perfect place.
