Composition, lyrics, lore, musicianship, vocals, and collaborations are all top-notch.
And to get Unleash the Archer's Brittney Slayes (et al) as a guest vocalist for a nigh-12-minute epic track? Frickin' amazing!
This album is impossibly good. It's rare I find an album I really like, furthermore a concept album of the same. This one ticks every box of the things I enjoy in power metal. Favorite track: The Forever Serpent.

My favorite album of all time. Sozos Michael is an absolutely incredible vocalist, and has inspired me to start singing. His songwriting and guitar really tie the whole thing together. Ashcraft's role also cannot be understated, he carries the rhytym with his expert playing, and he punches far above his popularity in all his works.
Favorite track: The Forever Serpent.

The Saberlight Chronicles
by Fellowshipsupported by 35 fans who also own “Tales of Magic”
A perfect album on the first try. Every song is incredible, I can't put it in words. To anyone unsure - if you like synthy, fast, and upbeat as all hell power metal - it'll exceed your expectations.

The Skies Above Eternity
by Fellowshipsupported by 28 fans who also own “Tales of Magic”
Fellowship hit it out of the park again with this one. Victim had an incredible opening, King of Nothing had a kickass message of continuous effort through everything, and World End Slowly was an amazing track the whole way through. Cannot wait for more Fellowship!

I used to go to shows in Victoria in the late 2000's and UtA, to me, were always the annoying scrappy local dorks you would have to suffer through before you got to the main act. Fast forward 15yrs and I'm buying all their albums and singing along to every song! I'm so glad they kept doing what they love, really honed their craft and didn't let snobs like me bring them down!
