Building on 2005’s Eternally, Seas of Blood finds By Blood Alone stretching out into progressive territory with elaborate arrangements and orchestration. The international press dubbed Seas of Blood a groundbreaking work: Said metalobserver.com “the American quintet will sooner or later put a spell on the listener forcing them to stay with the band longer and longer. If you experience such marvelous songs as the title tune it is impossible not to get engaged and to let yourself simply flow with the sounds coming out of the speakers. And I can assure you that there are more captivating tunes on this beautiful, intriguing and simply speaking – enchanting album.”
