ABOUT THIS ALBUM
"Through Reality" - Majesty Of Revival's debut album, recorded during 2011 and released in 2012 via Metal Scrap Records!
The material for this album was composed during 2009-2011, the first-ever MOR song was "The Code" (originally called Divine Image), so we had a bunch of time for arranging everything. Since 2009 we had a lot of lineup changes and that caused a delay for the debut release. New members always did some changes to the songs, so most of them ended up with completely different sound. In fact, the first couple of demos and eps were too experimental, we used to play some kind of avant-garde/crossover music - but since recording labels have no clue how to promote jazzyblackfunkcircus metal and told us to choose one direction, we decided to use all of the melodic/symphonic metal stuff for the first record.
So, as being said, before "Through Reality" we released a couple of demos, EP's and a promo album, which got some attention from record labels.
Right before recordings, we changed the singer and keyboardist, so we entered the studio somewhere in September 2011. A couple of months later the production of the debut opus was finished. We made this album with a little knowledge of how to mix everything properly - so the sound was not stellar. Despite the production issues album released in 2012 via Metal Scrap Records and received really good reviews (especially in Japan), which was a surprise for us.
The label press release says:
"Debut full-length album of Progressive Metal band from Ukraine. 9 magic tracks from the depths of Carpathian forests covered in the 8-pages booklet."

Reviewers also wrote some kind words:
"Brilliant Symphonic power metal with really heavy riffs and absolutely demented guitar solos. Ukraine surprises with this kind of band, packaged with a cool graphic design, great vocals with technical drums with some high tech keyboard passages. Definitely musical supremacy. You will transport into a futuristic landscape of chaos and outer reaches of the power metal genre." (Aquelarre Zine)
"Although inspirations are easy enough to spot, I was heartened to hear a totally original sound within ‘Through Reality’. It’s an easy album to listen to on the surface, and gets bonus points for having more depth than most power metal albums even hint at." (Rocktopia)

We played a couple of local shows and continued composing new material for the next album "Iron Gods", but that's another story :)

Finally in 2020 album gets the sound it deserves! You can also stream the whole album on our YouTube channel!
