Tales of Tragedy is the third full-length album released by Cypriot Power metal band Winter's Verge. The harmonies and rhythms on the album are more complex and sophisticated than previous releases, with a darker atmosphere. The guitar work shows a greater influence from thrash and groove metal, and Chris Ioannides' drumming reveals a strong progressive metal element. Classical influences have a high profile, with several songs employing orchestrations reminiscent of Romantic era classical composers and a bass solo on the penultimate track derived from the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
