HMB´S REVIEW
"Extraordinary Journeys, Pt. I" emerges as the third full-length album from the Belgian metal ensemble Thorium, making its debut on November 16, 2023. This release serves as the initial segment of a two-part series, wherein the band delves into timeless adventure narratives, exploring themes of exploration, discovery, and extraordinary journeys. With artwork crafted by Velio Josto and sleeve design by Sara Decat, the album serves as a homage to classic adventure tales, seamlessly incorporating heavy, melodic, virtuosic, catchy, and conceptual elements.

The album's sonic landscape is a harmonious amalgamation of diverse metal genres, highlighting the band's inherent versatility. It resonates particularly with aficionados of classic and power metal, signifying a noteworthy milestone in Thorium's musical odyssey. Comprising ten tracks, including "Overture 1828 - Time and Generations," "Age of Adventure," "Across the Nations," "Thorium," "Morituri te Salutant," "Gladiator," and "Echoes of Lost Souls," "Extraordinary Journeys, Pt. I" offers a riveting musical encounter. It serves as a testament to Thorium's distinctive style and sound, presenting a melodic and conceptual expedition tailor-made for enthusiasts of the metal genre.
