It’s Cyber Monday, and what better music to listen to than some sci-fi inspired metal?
We’ve picked 4 albums with sci-fi infused lyrics and electronic atmosphere that will be gracing our stereos today.
1. Luca Turilli – Prophet of the Last Eclipse
Arguably the stand out album of ex-Rhapsody maestro Luca Turilli’s solo album trilogy. The theme of the album is the a self-written sci-fi story about the fictional world of Zaephyr and it’s destruction. The album is a progressive power masterpiece!
2. Keldian – Journey of Souls
Norwegian band Keldian offer a very futuristic brand of power metal. While sticking to traditional power metal roots the band provides an atmosphere that lines the planets and stars with an epic sci-fi theme. The album ‘Journey of Souls’ is a perfect accomplice for those days that you just want to go on a space exploration adventure.
3. Hypocrisy – The Arrival
10 years old this year, Hypocrisy’s ‘The Arrival’ continues to be a fan and a sci-fi metal favourite. The album takes a more horrific spin on the sci-fi atmosphere with a solid theme of alien abduction and human parasite infestation. A great album for those looking for a modern twist on death metal.
4. Machinae Supremacy – A View From The End of the World
Another progressive power classic from the manga and anime fanatics Machinae Supremacy. While their peak album ‘A View From The End of the World’ has no recurring theme, the music is very mechanical and perfectly emulates a sci-fi world.
Will there be any sci-fi inspired you will be listening to today while shopping for those online metal deals?
