Synopsis

Album Description

Enemy Glory Darkly Blessed is a new version of Point Of Ares's critically acclaimed debut release, Enemy Glory. It contains re-arranged and re-recorded songs from the original album, along with several completely new tracks, darkly blessed with magic and rock n' roll in support of Tor Books's publication of band leader Karen Michalson's epic fantasy series, Enemy Glory. Like its predecessor, Enemy Glory, Enemy Glory Darkly Blessed is an art rock / adventure rock concept album based on Karen's fantasy series. Intelligent, dark, mystical, hallucinatory and hypnotic. The songs represent selected emotional experiences from the point of view of the characters in Karen's fictional world. Come, lose yourself in a world of hard, progressive-edged rock, strange tales, and bardic magic.

CD Reviews

Very cool fantasy rock

01/01/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I got this CD because I got hooked by Michalson's novel, Enemy Glory, and I was curious to hear what her band's musical version sounded like. It's worth a listen - even if you haven't read her novel. Michalson has a strange, hypnotic voice that you will either love or hate (I love it!) and she's an impressive bassist. The guitar solos simply rock - there is nothing else to say. I was tapping my feet all the way through. Michalson reads some passages from Enemy Glory. I can only describe her voice as passionate, intense, and utterly believable. My only complaint is that if you haven't read the book, some of the depth of the CD is lost. But it's still worth having."
