There&#8217;s a regal, almost cinematic quality to it. Acoustic flourishes, folk-tinged melodies, and razor-sharp riffing collide in a way that still feels transportive three decades later.<\/p>\n<p>Spin &#8220;Moonshield&#8221; today and it still soars. Revisit &#8220;The Jester&#8217;s Dance&#8221; and that sense of awe comes flooding back \u2014 the same feeling fans had when they first encountered the album&#8217;s intricate guitar harmonies and sweeping atmospheres.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I love this record and you really ought to get yourselves a copy from the Metal Injection store right here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\"><strong>Want More Metal?
