Count Cagliostro I really like the greatly mixed acoustic intro with the synth accompaniment of the first track. Very original instrumentation and the overall release holds true originality, the 2nd track is definitely my favorite, I am reminded of Paganini with Winter being my favorite of his Four Seasons, a true cold atmosphere and great leading riff, you can hear true passion in this. Favorite track: The Winter Halcyon.

Overshadowed by those in flight, is a halcyon that cannot fly. Chop, chop, chop did her perpetrators, those golden wings, the wings that defined the halcyon. Not so fortunately, they left her a soul, a soul so bright- caged for two long decades. Live among the flock, live like the flock, they preached. All your fellow birds, you see, are flightless. Uniqueness is non-existent for birds of our flock! they said. Do not look towards the sky, for that’s beyond your limits. Little did they know, she never belonged there. Her innocence often urged to her, “So what if unique isn’t present in my dictionary? Extraordinary is!” They laughed, For they knew, she knew that her wings were after all in their custody; that no matter how hard she tried, she could never touch the azure, could never be what she was meant to be. The terrible rage brewing in her soul, her soul so bright, smudged with charcoal. The shine was gone, she was now, just an Autumn Halcyon.
2.
In those nights of hopelessness, The halcyon found an escape in her only friend, The Phoenix, last of his kind. Oh the Phoenix! He cleansed her soul, washed off all the charcoal, with his tears-those tears, and their magical healing powers enable the halcyon to look to the infinite firmament above. Little did she know, her perpetrators had well been warned Afraid they were, that the phoenix would steal her wings the wings-her key to freedom. They resorted to brutality yet again; they burnt the Phoenix to ashes. Only if they had known, that he would return back, building himself, from those neglected embers. But the halcyon meanwhile, she shattered in his absence. The despair had returned, and it withered her. Oh you mighty sinners! Why was I devoid of my wings, but not my soul, a soul so bright when I was born ? wept the Winter Halcyon.

about

In sorrows, crumbling numbness and everlasting fear did the dissolution of my halcyon occur. In everlasting affection shall these hymns resonate through time, a small blip in the cosmic calendar.
Of desperate cries they belong, these verses of pain and solitude, A hymn for whoever so must listen and have a journey through something they must reckon.

This is a concept album based off a poem with two parts, the poem is in the lyric section of each track.
