THE INTRO
Tiamat are something of a strange force. They haven?t had overwhelming success in the UK, but they have been going for 17 years with a good name in heavy rock circles on the continent. Their latest album to be released was the one that introduced the band to me. It?s not necessarily their best work ever, but it?s not far from it.
Tiamat are a Swedish band, now based in Germany, who originally started out in 1990 doing death metal. They released one album of that genre and have, over the years, moved from a very heavy style of music to what they now describe as ?Gothic symphonic rock/metal?, although ?Gothic prog-rock? is how I?d describe them.

Being on Fleet Street it is known as the Journalist's church and it is associated with a number of literary figures such as Boswell, Dryden, Lovelace, the diarist Evelyn ...
?, and all of a sudden, a whole cottage industry sprang up tracing the fictional Robert Langdon?s breathless dash across London on so-called Da Vinci Tours. One of the most popular stops on that tour is Temple Church, and for a short time after the release of the film, it was a virtual no-go area for regular visitors, having been swamped by oversized Americans in daft clothing and breathless snap-happy Japanese. If it sounds like I am lazily reverting to national stereotype it?s because I speak from personal experience. I?ve lost count of the times that my quiet contemplation was interrupted by squeals of delight from ?Marty? and ?Mabel? as they discovered something they?d seen in ?that movie?. Sigh.
If I am taking a little while to come to the business end of this review, it?s because I am not a ?Grail tourist? and felt it imperative to ...
