Hello everyone!

So this day has come at last!

Today the album will be out on digital platforms, so it is time to scribble down some thoughts about the album to be able to put the songs into context.

Where to start? The next sentence will tell everything about the album, but I expand this sentence into a broader landscape.
Violence is the utmost insanity of somebody's unbridled soul dissolving into the pareidolia of blood.
It can be very diverse. The physical, the mental, the silent whisper, the loud cry, the muted scream, the underground struggle with solitude feelings. It can happen in a crowd, a lonely room or at the most ancient place: the battlefield.
This album is musically an eclectic one, the lyrics bring the real cohesion. I think it can be called a concept album like its predecessor ‘Entering Kingdom Come’.

The track list of the album as follows:
1. The Maelstrom of All Beautiful Visions 2:37
2. Blindness During Wartime 8:15
3. As the Tide Turns Dark 7:47
4. Realm of Fathers 8:26
5. The Raising of Lazarus 5:27
6. C19 4:43
7. Stillwater 1:51
8. Lifeblood 7:24
9. Sleeping Sunset 5:19

The first song ‘The Maelstrom of All Beautiful Visions’ collects a couple of interesting thoughts about our world in a mix that cannot be understood as in our lifetime.

‘Blindness During Wartime’ leads to the battlefield, the inscrutable madness that floats above it, and the fierce killings that twist every human soul and mind on the ground.

As the ‘Tide Turned Dark’ is a strange story of a 20th-century genocide in Spain. I read an article in the New York Times about the ‘kidnapped’ children from their parents who believed their sons and daughter to be dead and the children were moved to foster parents who were loyal to the Franco regime. I tried to imagine the horrible things that the parents went through to learn that their newborn child had died and yet after a long time they are still alive. The article is still up on the newspaper’s page, everybody can find it there. And almost forgot: introducing an angelic voice from Argentina: Estefania Silvera.

‘Realm of Fathers’ may be the most brutal violence in our society: child abuse. It never can be accepted, never can be justified and have to defy it. A painful cry from the aspect of a child.

We are living in a world of fake news empires. ‘The Raising of Lazarus’ tries to widen its scope to depict it through one of the most known tales from the Bible. The resurrected dead is as fake as our contemporary world and the villain newsmakers.

The Covid pandemic is over. ‘C19’ commemorates the victims of the disease with a helpless cry for help. Someone who wants to grab Life and don’t want to let it go pass them.

‘Stillwater’ is a fine instrumental piece improvised on a grey autumn while the gentle rain had fallen down on the ground full of leaves outside the window.

‘Lifeblood’ is about the new beginning. Counting all the wrong past revelations and mistakes and pushed into the abyss where real lifeblood is dwelling inside us but we cannot pull out to show the real ourselves. We have a long way to learn living and loving.

‘Sleeping Sunset’ is the new beginning. As the sunset takes away the tired day and prepares the body and the soul for the new one which can bring peace and renewal. It can be fresh, full of excitement, and an opportunity to start again with a blank sheet.
