Press Text

The band started as a tribute to Mercyful Fate and King Diamond.

As time passed, the two musicians began to work remotely on original ideas and riffs.

Aurelio mainly deals with the music while Alberto writes a concept centered on the figure of a tormented serial killer, oppressed by the souls of his own victims and redeemed by the ghost of a little girl.

Once the composition of the album and the recording of the demos were completed, we arrived at the current line-up.

Alberto’s extreme metal heritage leads him to ask his friend Tobias Cristiansson (Entombed AD, Necrophobic, Grave) to participate as a guest on the band’s single: ‘King Of Pain’.

Artwork by Harley Velasquez (Highlord, Wings of Destiny, Cygnus Atratus).

Recorded at Elnor Studios by Mattia Stancioiu (Jorn, DGM, Labÿrinth, Crimson Dawn, Ananke, Drakkar, Sunstorm).
