We know how much you have been waiting for this, but if you still are unaware of the greatness of “The White Goddess”, have a quick tour of the first press comments:

“The production is great and atmospheric, the musicians are top notch, the lyrics are perhaps the best written the genre has seen in a while and it’s very epic, perhaps too much. This is still the best Epic Metal album of 2013, I, without certain restraints, welcome the new reigning kings to their throne.METAL OBSERVER 9/10

“Atlantean Kodex deliver with ‘The White Goddess’ something special. EPIC is the word! With album tracks mostly clocking in 10 minutes or more, it takes you on a musical journey. Progressive edges (Fates Warning) combined with Manowar/Bathory grandeur! This is an album for a long time to enjoy! RATING: 9 stars (out of maximum 10 stars).PROGRESSIVE XGROOVES RADIO – 9/10

“An epic elegy, a call to battle! […] I sucked up every note of it, I enjoyed every melody. Albums like this do not come often anymore …” ROCK OVERDOSE, 95/100

Indeed the band has progressed much since their debut effort „The Golden Bough“. The sound is more  mature,  more dramatic, more  bombastic.  Everything  on  the  album  spells HUGE in  capital letters.  While  the  key  coordinates  old  Manowar  (Ross  the  Boss-era),  Bathory  (Twilight-era) and obscure  US  Metal  (Fates  Warning,  Cirith  Ungol,  Warlord…)  are  still  dominant,  the  band  has manage to explore new ground with „The White Goddess“. This is one of the few albums, which will leave noone cold.

VISIGOTH is a young US band formed in 2010 in Salt Lake City. Claiming influences from Dio, Omen, Twisted Tower Dire and Atlantean Kodex, they have raised quite an interest in the metal community with their traditional, epic-tinged, no-frills heavy metal. The press has said about them that

“no matter what genre of metal you tend to favour, there is nothing greater than pure unadulterated adrenaline pumping heavy metal performed the way the masters intended it, and this is exactly the way they envisioned it. (Dream Void Dreams blog)

“Final Spell is a definite jaunt back to a period that has spent many years in relative anonymity, only to find wondrous excavation by the younger, brasher military ready to lift the cracked and battered torch once more.” (Metal Psalter)
