Dave Aftandilian Lovely epic fantasy storytelling through synths and words. I appreciate that each track is long enough to accommodate a wide range of musical and emotional ups and downs that truly take the listener on an immersive journey. And many of the keyboard melodies are truly stunning, both wistful and proud at the same time. While some Summoning references are clear, particularly in the vocal delivery, Arcana Liturgia’s vision here is unique and compelling.

Sisslith An epic journey through the dawn of time. Like a sorcerer, the album takes you through portals of different fantasy worlds, the whole work feels like a great travel experience, accompanied with great melodies performed with strings, a good and marked percussion and with the voice of the sorcerer himself guiding your journey. One can only be carried away by the mastery and interweaving of the notes that guide the adventurer's steps. Favorite track: The ordeal.

The wizard 09:08
The wizard Between the rise of the first emperor and the fall of Dalanh, there was a time of battles and wars where warriors and wizards clashed their swords and cast arcane spells. There I was born, forged by fire and steel. From a cold battlefield I've come covered in blood, son of wrath and despair. I heard the call of the ancient spirits and now my fate is clear. I'll carry all your memories across the ages and dimensions. I'm the chosen one. I'm the wanderer of time.

My endless journey I saw the wounds of the world I heard milions of suffering voices calling my name Through the ages I learned the meaning of sufferance When my hands where bloodstained When my soul became dark as the shadows Shadows from the past haunt me my trembling hands cast worthless spells and the world is silent, crushed by avidity Who am I to save this world? Who am I to change their fate? Am I cursed from the ancient gods? Am I chained to this endless life? Who am I? Who am I?

The ordeal 07:54
The ordeal All was silence around me shadows were dancing in a whirlwind of ash ten thousand fires were burning where once there was life My eyes have seen crumbling castles, crashed by the ages Kingdoms that once flourish are now burned lands armies now lay dead on the battlefields Human life is a grain of sand in the hourglass of time I can't save them. I can't save myself I fight my own battle, chained into my castle of illusions shadows are my friends, loneliness is my strength and from my tower only death I see Is this the way to madness?

Master of broken dreams I crossed the Jade sea and walked the Path of the Ancients, 'til the Old Path led me to the secret Kingdom under the mountain. I felt the sacred fire, summoned by the oldest one, burning my flesh. From the ashes I rose again, holding high my staff. I'm the master of broken dreams I'm the chronicler of life and death servant of the ancient spirits I'm the wanderer of time. Sitting upon my throne I observe the river of time flowing, like sand in my magic hourglass One by one eras follow each other, under divine will Cold tears on my eyes, no one to dry them my soul is cold, there is no fire to warm me Chained in a cold stone palace I live my endless misery I'm the master of broken dreams I'm the chronicler of life and death servant of the ancient spirits I'm the wanderer of time.
