Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Luca Turilli - Prophet of the Last Eclipse |
 | | It was the simultaneous discovery and conquering of a new genre of metal, "symphonic epic Hollywood metal," as that band seems fond of referring to itself as. |
 | | Power metal bands had touched upon classical and orchestral influences before, but never had anyone used a full orchestra of authentic classical and baroque instruments in concordance with heavy metal, not just utilizing two different types of music but integrating them into a conceptual musical whole. |
 | | And, of course, there is the obligatory long epic song, "Prophet of the Last Eclipse." This closing track, almost twelve minutes long, covers the scope of the rest of the album, returning themes from the opening of the album and bringing the second chapter of the Virtual Odyssey to an end. |
