Immerse yourself in the seven epic tracks below:

Band-members L. Oathe and M. Malignant provide a glimpse into the creation of "Sorceries of Sanguine & Shadow":

L. Oathe: ""The Ashen Abhorrence" was something we worked on for a long, long time to get it right. This new album, however, started to build up very fast and we got to a point where we had way more material than would fit properly on the new album. So, writing music itself was effortless but the last part - figuring out what kind of album we really wanted to do using these building blocks was way harder. Cutting many very good songs is always painful, but what will make us be at peace with this though is that those songs will be included on the next, third album anyway. It's just a matter of finding the right combination of things and I never think of having better or worse songs - just different from each other."

M. Malignant: "The uniting line in the lyrics is summarized in the album title - "Sorceries of Sanguine & Shadow". The first album was purely a concept album with a storyline through every song lyric, whereas the second album is not that strict and here the themes are more prevalent and underlying. I have a tendency of explaining my lyrics too much, but I don't think this does me any favors. So, let's leave it for each listener to do the work and draw their own interpretations. A strong recommendation is to get the physical album, as the booklet has frames drawn for each song that extend the visual imagery the lyrics convey."
