About the concept of our new album:
"It establishes a parallelism between the obscurantism of the Middle Ages the new forms of control and censorship...
Reminding us of the importance of keeping rebelliousness alive and fighting for utopias. And musically the album can be defined as a mix of Extreme Metal and Dark Ambient.".  Declares the lyricist and composer Tamara Picardo.
