Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

Few concept albums maintain such a unified vision, but this work stitches together a grim story of clairvoyance and fate. It represents a peak for the group's songwriting, mixing complex arrangements with the scale of an opera.

Keyboards made their debut on this outing, lending a sheen to the group's signature dual-guitar attack. Put together during a time of intense ambition, the recording achieves a massive presence that defined late eighties metal.
