We’re obviously thrilled to be able to play something new. This is a short, to-the-point little gem [aimed] right at the jugular”.

Godless EP cover

The album art is based on the second song of the EP, Ossuary.

Ossuary talks about a wretched creature that dwells deep in the catacombs in a state of suspended animation, about to complete its last phase of hibernation to wreak havoc onto the world. The lyrics are a metaphor for nefarious covert organizations within the governments of today.

Replicant, as the title suggests, was inspired by Blade Runner (1982).

Oneiros speaks of the shaper of nightmares. This particular version has been inspired by Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman.
