Di seguito il commento in inglese sulle tracce del nuovo album della band romana, direttamente dalle parole di Alessandro Pace. Ricordiamo che il disco uscirà il 2 aprile per Cyclone Empire:

THE DAWNING
Doom-style piece of music with epic taste. Powerful and obsessive guitars followed by mellow and heavy pads and organs describe survivors afterlife.

OUTSIDERS
Memories of the past , awareness of the present and anxiety for the future relieving in a mournful choir. A tribal drumming beats time to suffering.

OIONOS
In a desert without boundaries, a flock of vultures come and announce the omen. Distortion guitars on the background, while voice and organ duet with melodies in an oriental atmosphere.

FALLEN REIGN
Human faults and the illusion of a thousand sun describe the mood of the track. A claustrophobic voyage from beginning to end with tap guitar intermezzo and final lamento.

SOLILOQUIUM
A dark and solitary arpeggio prepare us to the ritual of bereavement. A distant gregorian chant gives the last goodbye.

LOST HUMANITY
Energic groove and acid keyboards take turns with funeral down-tempos and mournful choir. Continuous changing of mood of this track give full emphasis to good and evil side of men.

SURVIVORS SLEEP
Nocturnal sonata for lonely fighters.

CHANT OF WIDOWS
Seven minutes and twenty-eight seconds of chaos recalling the time that was: war, desperation, violence and grief in a melting pot of stoner riffs, piano arpeggios, death-doom patterns and epic finale.

HOPE. SHE’S IN THE WATER
A low voice admits with outward quietness his worrying for the future. A scanty guitar arpeggio turns to down-tempo and reaches its climax in a crescendo of atomic bombs, tribal drumming and Death March!

RUSSIANS
The final explosion of the previous track introduce us to a funeral doom cover version of “Russians”, our homage to Gordon Matthew Sumner Aka Sting.

REVELATION 3.11
The words of Robert Oppenheimer lead us to the final stage of our post-atomic journey, as to remind us that foolishness of evil men has no end.
