"A sorrowful tale of a burdened life expressed through dark ambiences perturbed with unforgiving aggressions of death."




The soundscapes of Book One are an emotional blend of classical subtlety and metallic force engendered by haunting strings, aroused by churning guitars, and awoken by chaotic vocals.


Why this name?
It reflects that the pain we express in our music is old, and while our technology may have advanced, our morality and humanity remains antique.
Do you play live?
Only one live performance so far for the release party. We play a different type of music life though, only keyboards, more ambient.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It enhances the industry, bringing out more smaller acts to a greater number of people. The acts aren't new, but the audience is.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. We started our own label. :)

Favorite spot?
The bottom of an ocean abyss. It should be peaceful there, and the crushing weight of the water would obscure the pain of life.
Anything else...?
Cursed be the flesh of the man who looks upon the future and sees a world of chaos, humans adrift in misery, and his damned immortal soul.
