Eternal Winter - Cosmic Blood, Cosmic Grail CD

"As twelfth and thirteenth century grail romances incorporated esoteric allegories into their mythos, so the tradition continues with Cosmic Blood, Cosmic Grail. This metallic operatic work tells the tale of young Othamere, a pagan initiate oppressed by a band of violent renegades disguised as the Knights Templar. With the aid of the barbarian swordsman Erodus and cosmic allies from beyond the stars, his adventure leads him to strange lands and perilous encounters. The trials Othamere overcomes lead to an alchemical transformation, revealing him as a divine archetype of the True Templar Spirit. May this album enlighten the spirits of those it reaches and be an inspiration to them on their own personal grail quest."
