Phalanx of the Sacred Spear chronicles the key chapters of the Greco-Persian Wars—from the Ionian Revolt sparking Persian ire, to the Athenian victory at Marathon (490 BC), Leonidas’s legendary stand at Thermopylae (480 BC), and the simultaneous naval clashes at Artemisium. It continues through the decisive Battle of Salamis and culminates in a broader reflection on the war’s ultimate legacy—liberating mainland Greece from Persian ambitions.

Musically, it melds power metal, progressive elements, and occasional blackened thrash touches with ancient Greek instrumentation (e.g., bouzouki, hammered dulcimer) and heroic choral passages, immersing listeners in the epic drama of each confrontation.
