2013 release from the German Metal band. Continuing on from the band's previous album, 2010's near-universally praised the Golden Bough, Atlantean Kodex build upon their sound to achieve an album like no other. Many bands and labels lay claim to the word 'epic' to describe a particular sound, but on the White Goddess, Atlantean Kodex embodies the term in a way very few others could imagine. Drawing from traditional Heavy Metal, Doom and Norse Metal, the White Goddess showcases their strongest songwriting, lyrical, vocal performance and production yet, unequivocally, the White Goddess is the best pure Heavy Metal record of the year.
