Relic is something ancient yet timeless, treasured throughout the centuries, a value difficult to define, as it's true worth is held in our hearts. This is how we feel about the music we have created. Our songs are constructed from ancient poetry but brought to life by modern instruments. It takes the listener on a journey through past lives, from the simple gypsy, the rouge sailor, and the tale of a king. The songs tell of past battles fought...between soldiers and between the forces of good and evil. The listener will experience vast emotions of joy and happiness, darkness and light, hope and despair. These songs explore the issues that plagued ancient man, but still baffle us today. We hope to inspire others through our music as it has touched and inspired us.

Story behind the song
Lyrics
"Kill them All" (1209) Hot summer. France. Catholic and Cathars (citizens) fighting alongside (each other) to save their (town) Beziers. Crusaders storm a gate and crash into the town. They lock defenders in the church and set on fire. Those not burned were out to the sword I rushed up to Abbot (of Citeas) to remind him:”that they’re catholics as well as heretics. The answer was: Kill them all-he said God will know his own. I see alone mankind’s self-torturing pain. Church’s on fire and thousand die, I was watching and with deep sorrow I wept. (1941,Babiy Yar) Hot summer , Ukrainians, Russians and the Jews standing alongside in front of a hole. Nazzi soldiers shooting them in the hole. Those were not slaughtered were locked in the barn. Which was then, set on fire, I rushed to ober (shtoorban fuhrer) and reminded him: “That they’re Slovanians,as well as Jews”. The answer was: Kill them all-he said God will know his own. I see alone mankind’s self-torturing pain. Church’s on fire and thousand die. I was watching and with deep sorrow I wept. (1945, Japan), Hot summer , Millions of Japanese travel to their jobs and careers. Fatal bomb is falling down from (Hiroshima’s) the sky. In a moment fire and thousands die... still they die! Rushing to flee and meet the people they need (I stood among ruins and tried to catch the face of People of Great statue’s First Man). But I couldn’t... only his voice (...WHY?), the answer was: “Kill them all-he said God will know his own. I see alone mankind’s self-torturing pain. Church’s on fire and thousand die. I was watching and with deep sorrow I wept.
