The Burning Centuries by Latvian Black Metal project Protean is a musical journey through the history and various nations, focusing on the tales of their warfare, mythology and legends. From the grim times of the Punic Wars, when Hannibal, the scourge of the Roman Republic, crossed the Alps, to the 15th century Hungarian Black Army's bloody clashes with the Ottoman Turks. From the sagas of the Northmen and the flames of their burning longships to the dark legends of foreign sorcerer lords of the Latvian past. Protean has engulfed it all in seven songs, each having its unique sound and approach to the story revealed in the lyrics.
