If youre already bracing yourself for an extensive workout of limp-wristed Euro metal with air raid siren vocals and artificially generated symphony addendums, then youd be thinking exactly along the lines I was. "Harvest of Sorrow" is based on Tolkien's tragic story of Túrin Turambar, which appears in the Silmarillion.Oh, Christ! An album called A Night At The Opera coming from the Teutonic power metal-affected minds of Blind Guardian.It was inspired by Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid.
