Albert Bell's Sacro Sanctus - Liber Iii: Codex Templarum

The third effort from the blackened heavy/doom metal band. Albert Bell is a veteran of the Maltese metal scene, known as the bassist and main composer for Forsaken and Nomad Son. A compelling concept album - the part-historical and part-fictional story picks up where the second album Ad Aeternum left off, following the demise of the Knights Templar and their involvement in various secret societies. Liber III: Codex Templarum focuses on the Order of 13's fate following their coerced dissolution including their alleged involvement in insurrections against despotic rule in Scotland and the Alpine lands in the 14th century, and the Knights' links with various secret societies.
