Fotis Sotiropoulos commented about the song: “When we were in the studio recording this song, I asked Tasos to make a growl voice in the finale, I strongly believed it would fit perfectly, I still do. Tasos refused, so I decided to take over and took my place behind the microphone full of confidence. After a couple of tries, I almost choked myself to death coughing, while the others outside burst out laughing and asking for more. Nevertheless, even without growls “Disobey” is a very powerful and modern song. It’s a reminder to people to always question authorities. Leaving them unquestioned can be a really dangerous thing.”

Fotis Sotiropoulos commented about the song: “Distant Voices” was born when I decided to see if I can do something with an old lead guitar theme that I used to keep for years. Even if I had my doubts at first, it turned out to be a really interesting song. The lyrics are inspired by the famous sci-fi movie’s “Blade runner’s”  last scene with Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford, when Rutger Hauer says his notorious short monologue just before he dies, accepting his tragic fate being a clone designed by humans with a limited life span. We made a video for this song where you can see a dancer as a tragic figure of a clone, dancing a desperate and passionate dance.

Fotis Sotiropoulos commented about the song: “Ride the Thunder”, an epic title for an epic song, the joy of every true metal warrior! It is far more than that though. It’s about the hard effort, the power of will, self-awareness and moderation (the most important Delphic precepts that is), the intoxication of glory, the constant battle between reason and emotion, the ceaseless pursuit of time and the ephemerality of victory.
