Digital release:
Officially released in 2013, this is a dark symphonic metal double album by Red Ankh. Unlike previous releases from recent years, this album is composed of entirely new material written over the past year, except for the two tracks 'Remember Kata' and 'Ugluwiktz' which were pulled from discontinued instrumental albums that decidedly did not belong there. Across the double album there are four instrumental interludes featuring unconventional organic instruments. The first 'disk' ends with a cross breed remix of 'Let's Drag You Down'.
Lyrics shed light on the core story from Shyft's writing, the refrain from 'Down Below' being a poem from the third book of the Shyfted Dreaming Trilogy. Otherwise, the lyrical focus ranges from ethics to self-doubt and madness, to more whimsical, lighthearted themes.
