The melodic-extreme mixture crafted by these Italian musicians can be described as sympho death/black/power. Each of these styles clearly manifests throughout the album with corresponding guitar riffs. There are heavy, precise mid-tempo guitars from death metal, buzzing high-speed riffs from black metal (plus the fast drumming patterns characteristic of the genre), and melodic, rhythmic heavy/power passages. And against this entire backdrop, symphonic swells sound tirelessly. Yes, the "sympho" prefix is there for a reason — there are plenty of keyboards here, and without them STORMLORD's music would be entirely different. You might be thinking the vocals are equally diverse? No, there's no such variety here. The main vocalist possesses an average-grade scream, and only on two tracks do guest soloists lend him support.
"The Gorgon Cult" listens smoothly and pleasantly, but you'll hardly be able to recall a single melody after the disc ends. For cover enthusiasts, the Italians have prepared a gift — their own interpretation (quite a decent one) of IRON MAIDEN's Moonchild. Among the bonuses there's also a music video for the track I Am Legend.
