Kaledon - Legend Of The Forgotten Reign, Chapter 1: The Destruction (2002)

Another Italian band who bring forth fantasy tales (this of the city of Kaledon which is invaded by the undead), started their saga with this debut, and what an agonising listen it is.
The songs are tuneless, the playing lifeless, and the hysterical vocals don't sound so much like the common description of its type as air raid sirens, but the victims of the air raids.  Even the cover is pathetic.
I'll give this half a star over one because maybe, just maybe, it has its moments.
On the other hand, I could have just imagined it.
