Style: expressive occult psychedelic rock / metal

the main topic of fifth studio full-length focuses on the rise and fall of empires - regardless of usually catchy, overly ambitious, certainly at the avantgarde in setting trends of sound, the message behind Tobias Forge's creations always remains in the margins, and like each time he makes a lot of effort to equally bring forth the meanings that also reflect on recent tectonic shifts in worldwide geopolitics; finally released after couple of pandemic-related delays, seriously hot twelve tracker is choke full of genius harmonies and insanely infectious hooks, with plenty of heavy-weighted episodes, memorable instrumentals, and expressive vocals as well, while cover artwork by Zbigniew Bielak has a direct reference to infamous photo of Aleister Crowley; US edition comes with 28 page booklet, brimming with exceptional illustrations
