Info:
Bal Sagoth, banda inglesa de black metal, podemos definirla como un amezcla heterogena y unica de Power Metal Sinfonico y Epico junto con un concepto artistico que reune letras, conceptualizaciones de los albumes y musica de los mismos rayando en lo cósmico, espacial, trascendental y hasta profetico, recorriendo fantasias futuristicas heroicas del vocalista Byron o leyendas esotericas de antiguas y oscuras civilizaciones llenas de cofradias, visiones e intricados secretos para quienes atreviesen a urgar en su esplendoroso pasado.
Musicalmente, puedes encontrar arreglos orquestales y sinfonicos por doquier y absolutamente pomposos y sensasionales, rayando en lo barroco, mezclado con ambientes electronicos y espaciales, efectos especiales de caballos, batallas, castatrofes y experiencias en la cybergalaxia, todo esto matizado con black metal puro y duro de la nueva escuela, toques muy tecnicos de heavy tradicional de cortes epicos y folklore celta, etnico y ancestral. Toda una gama de insospechadas combinanciones de sonidos, estilos y ritmos, que combina a la perfeccion con los largisimos y extraños titulos de las canciones, lo abrumador de sus letras, portadas y diseño de sus discos y su filosofia en general. Bal Sagoth, una banda unica, potente y dinamica, para buscadores de experiencias desconcertantes y muy, pero muy especiales. Ademas la banda transmite esa energia en sus presentaciones es vivo, ayudados por su indumentaria caballeresca, sus espadas y su actitud teatral.
