BAL-SAGOTH: Starfire Burning Upon the Ice-Veiled Throne... CD

Please note: These are untouched, unplayed copies of the original version of the album, not the remastered/redesigned version from 2016, which we also stock.

A milestone release, the band's second album, released in 1996 saw Bal-Sagoth create the template they would build upon with subsequent releases, with a bigger production and more epic and triumphant sounding songwriting. Starfire... put the English epic metal legends on the map and would have a huge influence on many metal bands that arose later, and remains an otherworldly, eccentric and stirring masterpiece.

Bal-Sagoth are interviewed at length in the book 'Cult Never Dies: The Mega Zine', also available at this store.
