Our second full length album contains nightmarish songs with gloomy but feral atmosphere. It is now available in almost every single streaming platform.
After three single releases; 'Witches', 'Irritating Noise Pt.2' and 'Waters Of Hate' it's finally here.
“Making of this album was a hell of a long journey. We delayed it's releasing date a couple of months of what was planned earlier but it was necessary”
Songs are written mostly by a former member Toni Mäkynen, but is also the very first release with the full band. The outcome is just what was desired and we can be truly proud of what we have created.
The album is mainly dealing with nocturnal events - asleep, awaken and somewhere between those conditions. Whichever it is, you will find yourself in the middle of a nightmare. Can you wake up? Is it up to your free will? Should you stay asleep? What was keeping you awake? What is waiting you after waking up? Was this the last time you fell asleep? Or did you just got sleep paralyzed?
One side-event of the album is to deal with old wounds and loss and as the pages and covers of the diary glide through, it's time to sever with the past. The madness and horrors of what's kept hidden in it shall stay there and the book shall never be read.
The album contains styles in the range from slower melodic ballad to headbanging beating to death and as an exception we also present our first song with Finnish lyrics.
The album was recorded, mixed by Taboo Music and mastered by our trusted bassist and audio engineer Kristian Saine.
Special thanks to be said out loud to Petteri Ylivuori for writing lyrics to Waters Of Hate, to Elina Vallin for photographing and editing the album art for the single version of Irritating Noise, Pt. 2 and to Matilda Suova to play flute parts for the song Fracture
