Six years have passed from the second album “The Legendary Shepherds of the Forest”, and many things have happened in music world and within the band, first a pandemic that has marked a setback for everyone, cancelling live performances and, in
many cases, creative inspiration too. From this journey of reconstruction, even within the band itself, as many members left in the meantime, a new line-up was born and, once set, could write this third work titled “Invincible”. Invincible is the desire to make music, to compose it and play it, to continue the search to get to the heart and mind of the listener, the tireless need to create something new that has the original imprint of the band, but that it bears the fruits of new mixtures and new ideas brought by those who previously were not there. Ten new tracks born from Maxx (drums), Tia (guitar) and Kima (flute), with melodies and lyrics by Aeon (dragon vocals) and Julie (unicorn vocals) and the contribution and arrangements of Ste (guitar) and Leo (bass), which have joined the line-up more recently. The orchestrations on half of the songs were composed and performed by Federico Maffei (Folkstone).

Invincible
L’album si apre con la marcia dei nani di “Misty”, primo omaggio della band a “lo Hobbit” di Tolkien, per poi scivolare nell’incubo lovecraftiano della cupa “Dagon”, si torna alla luce con “Dragonfly”, dove il flauto descrive il volo della magica libellula, “Voice of Reason” con energia accompagna l’ascoltatore nel mondo di The Witcher, per poi approdare sui lidi della ballad “Waves of Misery”, uno dei singoli, che racconta la dolente storia della sirenetta. “The Cathedral” apre le porte di un sogno dove un giocattolaio misterioso esaudisce ogni desiderio, e di nuovo nel mondo Tolkeniano con Black Thorn ispirata ad una della più struggenti storie d’amore de “Il Silmarillion” e, altro singolo, “The Seduction of Hollowness” che sinuosamente come Grima de “Il Signore degli Anelli” ipnotizza con la magia del flauto. “Dream of you” è il dolce e acustico preludio al primo singolo dell’album “M9”, il brano sicuramente più aggressivo e metal dell’intero lavoro che racconta della mostruosa trasformazione della bellissima Medusa Il lavoro si chiude con un breve divagazione orchestrale, quasi “timburtoniana”, del tema di Misty.
