In Rain of a Thousand Flames, destruction by the forces of Akron is the main theme. All the songs, which are performed in a very harsh, sometimes even non-melodic way, describe the acts of demons. A rain of fire pours down on the army of the Ice Warrior, the Queen of the Dark Horizons is resurrected, and blood rites are performed, announcing the arrival of thousands of demons. The towns of Elnor and Thorald are destroyed, and King Eric of Elnor is killed in the fight. This album focuses primarily on the evil of Akron, and the Ice Warrior plays no part in it, so it is considered a stop-gap in the story.

Famous quotes containing the words rain, thousand and/or flames:
“That rain is the best which falls steadily on the earth. A sudden and excessive downpour ruins the fields.”
—Jerome (c. 340–420)
“You would not have thought, if you had seen him lying about thus, that he was the proprietor of so many acres in that neighborhood, was worth six thousand dollars, and had been to Washington. It seemed to me that, like the Irish, he made a greater ado about his sickness than a Yankee does, and was more alarmed about himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As flames do work and wind when they ascend,
So did I weave myself into the sense.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
