it’s no suprise at all that bal-sagoth can compose such content with byron robert’s background in midieval reinactment and degree in english.
however, what makes bal-sagoth truly unique is how they use narrative voice overs throughout their songs, and alot of the lyrics are composed of dialogue.
bal-sagoth’s first alb-m “a black moon broods over lemuria” had more of a death metal sound to it, however over the years they’ve developed a more symphonic black sound.
based off of alot of ancient legends and tales bal-sagoth takes you into a world of sorcery and steel, magic and mayhem. ranging from atlantis to egypt with their atlantis ascendant alb-m, even to the very edge of the cosmos itself with the power cosmic alb-m released in 1999.
recently byron roberts has mentioned doing some comic books, and possibly a novel.
bal-sagoth is unique, there are no examples.
