Modena, Italy-based power metal band Trick Or Treat issued sixth full-length studio album The Legend Of The XII Saints<\/em> on April 24th, 2020 through Scarlet Records.<\/p>\n

The Legend Of The XII Saints<\/em> is a concept album freely inspired by the anime Saint Seya<\/em>, created in 1985 by Masami Kurumada, and more precisely on The Legend of the 12 Gold Saints of the Zodiac saga. The outing features 12 main compositions, one for every zodiac sign, with each track a monographic work that delves into the personality of the knights and the compelling plot that binds all the characters to the goddess Athena.<\/p>\n

The song \u2018Gemini: Another Dimension\u2019 features guest vocals from Beast In Black singer Yannis Papadopoulos.<\/p>\n

The Legend Of The XII Saints<\/em> was produced by Eddy Cavazza and Trick Or Treat. Cavazza was also responsible for mixing and mastering duties.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was once again created by vocalist Alessandro Conti.<\/p>\n
