Arcana - The First Era 1996-2002

2012-08-24 / greentea / Reads: 2880

This band does not need to be introduced to anyone. Masters of their genre! From the very first album their music has been wonderfully nostalgic, mystical and full of magical emotions, bringing to mind ancient rituals, secret meetings of witches, wizards, priests, I think most of the fans will agree....
