RockmusicRaider Review - Antyra - Pentachronist - Album Cover

This is going to be a first: RMR promoting a record containing a whopping five intros1, plus a master overture at the very beginning. Some of that stuff dwells outrageously far out in fairyland and is in part so bad you just want to slam the door shut in their face.
