Pirates and dragons, video games and anime, Luminatus draws from the mythos of the ages and the mythos of now in a melodic metal package centered around Holly McGinty's operatic voice. From the prog-metal opening of Lust to the Celtic romp of Stagecoach to the death metal-opera of Dead Arise to the Gothic metal of Flashes of Reality, Forbidden Passages weaves a rich tapestry of emotion and aural scenery.
