"Beyond the Cursed Eclipse" is the debut album by the American symphonic black metal band Vesperian Sorrow. The songs, "Twilight of Azrael" and "Windswept", have an opening sample taken from a play of the Artus-saga. [ [http://www.metal-observer.com/articles.php?lid=1&sid=1&id=48 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - VESPERIAN SORROW - Beyond The Cursed Eclipse ] ] The song, "Twilight of Azrael" refers to Azrael, the angel of death. The production quality was lacking in the album and had a more underground style than their more commercial later releases, but would give promise for their next albums.
