Join Mortiis for a glorious and epic tale about his fantastic voyage to far away worlds. This is his last album before he turned into industrial rock so this is more along the lines of Symphonic Orchestral Fantasy Music. Great for video gamers and letting the neighbors know you might be a bit peculiar.
