Magister Dixit - Andar and the Curse of Azagath (2000)


Pitch-perfect symphonic black metal from the Quebecois underground. Fantastical themes matched by busy, melodic, keyboard-heavy epics. The keyboardist can actually play, too. For a band that was clearly working on a budget, this (and all their stuff) is extremely well-executed. I got this record way back in the early days of Soulseek when I had practically zero real-life connection to the world of metal, and based purely on quality, I assumed that they were really well-known, which they should be.

Track listing:
1. Civilizations of the New Days
2. The Land of Andar
3. Dancing Under a Fullmoon Awaiting the Final Battle
4. The Epoch of Unblessed Tragedies - The Curse of Azagath Part 1
5. Reunion of the Four Elements - The Curse of Azagath Part 2
6. The Firestorm - The Curse of Azagath Part 3
7. Azagath's Dream - The Curse of Azagath Part 4
8. Iced Are the Eyes of Winter
9. Mors Certa Vita Incerta
10. Absence of Light
11. The Burning End
