Ex Tenebris CD (1998)
 $14.29

In a prog world where quality is too often measured through virtuosity alone, Ex Tenebris embodies the simple and uncertain beauty of shadows. Not every prog fan's cup of tea, but those with an inclination toward gothic/medieval romanticism will fall for this record very quickly. One of the ...
