“Our planet is experiencing many problems, probably more than at any time since man has walked on its soil. It is from this alarming fact that this album draws its source. Several subjects inspired the different tracks: melting ice (Tears of Ice), disappearance of biodiversity (Prayer for Wood and Skin), increasingly frequent and violent climatic events (Anger in the Sky), climatic migrations (Lost Land's Travellers) ... and to this was added the global pandemic which also inspired a track (Waking the Threat). I felt the need to express things about this subject, and music was my way of doing it. Even though the subject is serious, I tried to make the music beautiful... hope you'll enjoy.”
