Agathodaimon falls into the melodic black metal realm, sort of like early Cradle of Filth and Siebenburgen. They have a very good drummer and the guitar work (which includes some great acoustic pieces) is fantastic.
The vocals are the typical you'd hear on a BM album, sounding a lot like Satyr from Satyricon. They also have a guy with a synthesized robotic voice doing some voiceovers, and there are some clean vocals scattered throughout the album.
Best songs in my opinion are "An Angel's Funeral," "Departure," and the ballad-ish "Sacred Divinity" (which does have some great heavy parts). It's something you should get if you're a black metal fan open to other genres. If you're the type who listens to nothing but Burzum (great band) and DarkThrone, then you might not like it. If you're more of a Cradle or Dimmu fan, and want something a little less cheesy and more aggressive, then Agathodaimon's Chapter III is for you.
