Prepare to set sail on the greatest naval expedition in human history. Zheng’s Seven Voyages is an epic, 11-track Chinese-influenced symphonic power metal journey that chronicles the legendary seven voyages of the 15th-century Ming Dynasty commander, Admiral Zheng He.

The album’s narrative beginnings in the ashes of a bloody civil war as the usurping Yongle Emperor commands the construction of a colossal armada of 400-foot treasure ships. Track by track, listeners are plunged into the heart of maritime history: surviving catastrophic typhoons, battling ruthless pirate kings in the Malacca Strait, forging unprecedented religious unity in Ceylon, and witnessing the awe-inspiring arrival of the mythical Qilin from the African coast.
