I know that there are countless amount of movies/games soundtracks with leitmotifs, but other than that I've never found albums with leitmotifs.

The german gothic rock band ASP created the album Zaubererbruder, which is entirely about the folk tale of Krabat.

Man, that album is so good that I almost want to say it would be worth learning German just to understand it, but I’m afraid even then then cultural references might be lost on people.

Definitely a masterpiece however. Every track just clicks right where it ought to, and the story that’s told (while ending slightly different from the canon version) is fantastic. Absolute 10/10, and I’m not even a goth or a metalhead.
