“Path of Ascension” is the debut album of Diabolus Arcanium, a symphonic Black Metal band from India. They definitely have listened to the Scandinavian mid/late 1990s symphonic and melodic Black Metal albums (Dimmu Borgir for example). Imagine that and think of Black Metal version of Therion during “Vovin”. Yes, it’s quite heroic and epic, but drop the keyboard a bit. Find the right balance and this could be entertaining. (Ricardo)
