: This is all six albums/EPs/demos by Oratory, a melodic power metal band from Barcelos, Portugal, originally featuring Marco Alves on lead vocals but with Ana Lara for the later and better-known recordings; other members being co-founder Miguel Gomes (guitar), Rui Santos (bass), Joao Rodrigues (drums) and Antonio Silva (keys). The tracks from the “Enchantation” and “Sarcastic Soul” demos are not very high quality, but they had to be ripped from cassette tapes as they were never released on CD, and with “Last Prophecy” they are very difficult to find anywhere. Musically, they found inspiration in the national historic epic of Portugal, “The Lusiads” (Os Lusiadas) by Luis Vaz de Camoes, published in 1572.
