We hope to transpire our listeners with our interpretation of the Bavarian Illuminati on this album. In terms of songwriting, this is another step forward for us as a band as we are continuously trying to push our musical boundaries beyond our comfort zone”.


The album also featured a guest appearance by Mr Andy Gillion from Mors Principium Est on the track 1788.
