About the upcoming album »Songs For The Rain God Pt. 2«:
“The first idea about this concept album came just right after I finished the »Red Chapter« album in 2024. I was searching for a different storyline then I worked out in the past, I wanted to step aside a bit from the Biblical themes but also wanted to find a great story to tell. Then I found one of my favourite books I read during my childhood, »The Rain God Weeps For Mexico« – written by the hungarian writer, László Passuth. It is a great story as well as a deep dive into faith, mysticism of ancinent empires (in this case – Aztec Empire), but also represents an amazing historycal overview of the Spanish conquest in Mezo-America. It is one of the greatest story of our civilization, clash of cultures, faith, technical levels etc… It is also interesting what very well presented also by Mel Gibson in the movie: »Apocalipto«, that the Aztec Empire had already been of the state of descending when the Spanish landed at the shores (by the way there are many similaritites and a kind of pattern in our history of raising and collapsing empires like Roman, Aztec, etc…).
The music is aggressive, built on heavy guitars, but also contains lyrical and progressive parts as well. Recommended for the fans: Mastodon, Red Fang, Baroness, King Crimson, Fates Warning and many similar bands…
The album is coming on 20th of November on CD and digital by Bitume Prods!”
