"Nocturnal Odes of a Wandering Spirit" is the second full-length album of Black Metal band Fourth Monarchy. It appears 16 years after the first full-length "Amphilochia".
Dark evocative moments, alternated with majestic and wrathfully epic atmospheres under the banner of the 1990s Symphonic Black Metal School, continue the esoteric journey that erected a shroud of mystery around this band back in 2007.
"Nocturnal Odes of a Wandering Spirit" is dedicated to the Remembrance of the Dead and the Magical Knowledge preserved and transmitted by the Mystery Schools of Ancient Greece.
