Prequelle

Plague-ridden themes meet infectious pop sensibilities on this theatrical record, which centers on the Black Death as a metaphor for the end of times. It manages to balance sinister, doom-laden riffs with the kind of massive, singalong choruses that feel tailor-made for stadium rafters.

Polished production gives the music a slick, arena-ready sheen that leans heavily into 80s hard rock and psychedelic textures. The result is a dark, cinematic experience that feels like a high-budget horror movie transformed into a catchy radio-friendly collection.
