We step out of the desert, into the tombs. Enter the Ceremony of Damnation is the result of a year of extensive composing and recording, with \"how could we top Dunes?\" echoing through our minds as we explored every aspect of our sound in the twelve tracks we put together throughout these twelve months.
Now we gather eight of these songs - the ones we found fit best into the context of an album - and present to you and the next chapter of our Voyage series. The songs are more straight to the point, the lyrics are more personal and our influences are everywhere: In the bluesy doom of Welcome to the Ceremony, the progressive (almost indie) groove of Transparent Chains, the Rushtastic instrumental Stop the Clocks, or the punch-in-the-teeth, Damnation. Turn your stereo to the max, roll one up and hit play.
