Untitled

Days of Rising Doom is the debut album and Metal opera by the Progressive metal supergroup Aina released on September 25, 2003.

Story

The Album tells the story of the fictional land of Aina, after the death of King Taetius as his son, Torek, takes the throne. The story begins with a warning delivered to King Taetius (Damian Wilson) by The Prophets that warn him of danger on the horizon. [1] The story then moves on to the love triangle between Oria Allyahan (Candice Night) and the two sons of King Taetius: Talon (Glenn Hughes) and Torek (Thomas Rettke). [2] After the death of his father, Torek becomes the king of Aina. But, when Talon is the one that gains lady Oria's hand in marriage, he flees the kingdom. [3] Torek befriends a gruesome race know as the Krakhon, where he becomes a mix of king and deity to them; he also takes on the names Naschtok, which is their king, and Sorvahr, which is their deity. [4] [5] Quickly, Sorvahr gathers an army of the Krakhon and leads them into a war against the whole world. Eventually he sieges and takes over Aina, casting out his brother, Talon, and his wife and daughter, Oria and Oriana. [6] [7] In an effort to preserve his kingdom, Talon sends Oriana away from him where she can be safe. [8] Meanwhile, Sorvahr rapes Oria, who eventually give birth to Syrius. [9] Unknowing of their relationship, Oriana and Syrius meet one another and fall in love. [10] As the couple reaches adulthood, Talon returns to the kingdom, with a new army to retake the throne of Aina. Talon takes Oriana with him to help lead the army; additionally Sorvahr comes to take Syrius with him to lead the opposing army. As the two meet in battle, they declare a tentative peace on the battlefield. The peace is shattered when Sorvahr kills Syrius. Oriana then takes the fight back to Sorvahr and defeats him on the battlefield. [11] She then takes the throne of the new reinstated Kingdom of Aina. [12]
