Featuring elements of progressive/power metal with symphonic / industrial undertones and a hint of Celtic influence, "The Crucible" delivers four epic tracks, each over 8 minutes long. The music has been meticulously planned to complement the lyrics and story resulting in an amazing sonic experience.
Described as "Armageddon Metal," the sound of Harpazo is both powerful and symphonic, with industrial nuances adding depth to the compositions. Drawing inspiration from classic progressive metal rock operas of the 90s and 2000s, "The Crucible" offers a modernized take on the genre.
