Hi people, we're very happy for the Commercial Success of Unvorsum, and we want our Next Album to be our Best-Selling Album ever! Today We are revealing the Album's Tracklist!

We think this is our Best Album, because it's not just Death Metal, it's more complex, it has a more dark atmosphere, the Lyrics are very dark too, the Production is excellent...A lot of power, energy, complex rythms, irregular tempos and Metal!

UserPostedImage

1. Penance 4:16
The traditional Melodic Death Metal song in the Album...Until 3:27, when the Rythm Changes and irregular tempos reign!

2. In Dark Times 6:50
A very dark Song...It's a Progressive Black Metal Song, but it has a big Mixing of Clean & Growl vocals.

3. Seven Heavens 4:37
With a Heavy Metal Riff, and a lot of Clean Vocals, this is the Most Classic song in the Album.

4. De Rerum Natura 5:48
A very complex song, very Progressive and very dark. Here reigns the Mix of Slow & Fast tempos.

5. Unvorsum 5:11
The First single from the Album. An Sci-Fi Metal Song. The atmosphere in the song is dark, and this song is about the Universe, the Secrets of Universe. It has one of the Best Lyrics in the album.

6. Playing With Your Fears 4:12
The Next single...A song based in the Circle of Wizards' sound. A melodic Death Metal Song.

7. Empyreus 6:22
Another Complex and Dark song, the Lyrics are based in the Empyrean Heaven, is the place in the highest heaven, which in ancient cosmologies was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire

8. Iustum Necare Reges Impios 7:49
Progressive Extreme Metal at %100, with Irregular Tempos & Complex Rythms.

9. Forgive My Sins 4:25
A Mix Between Thrash & Death Metal, with Progressive Elements.

10. Agnus Dei 5:13
A very rare song, very dark with a Strained atmoshpere. The lyrics are based in the Latin "Agnus Dei" that means Lamb of God, this phrase is used to refer to Jesus Christ.
