Album
The band’s masterpiece. It was the first Elegy album fully produced Ian Perry. “Principles of Pain” was technical in a Progressive Power metal style, containing 2 ballads, 2 Neo-Classical up-tempo double bass drum tracks, and many mid-tempo melodic metal tracks with catchy chorus lines. Much to the fans’ surprise, “Missing Persons” features former vocalist Eduard Hovinga in duet with Parry. It’s an action-packed metal album bursting with musical craftsmanship and extraordinary songwriting, and perhaps one of the most underrated metal albums of the last decade. The new digipak edition includes 5 bonus tracks.
Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on a golden disc, limited to 1000 copies.
