«Everything happens for a reason. Michele and I parted ways after three albums that defined our peak – works still celebrated by our fans and critics alike. Now, years later, fate has brought us back together at the perfect moment to bring back the same vision of creating something just as powerful, with the same artistic depth and impact. You asked for it for years. Today, it’s reality!» – Olaf Thorsen
«Careful what you wish for! Life is full of circles and I’ve always felt there was unfinished business between me and the band I started my recording career with. It feels great to be a frontman again after many years supporting my heroes… This is the right time and we’ll make sure we’ll handle the whole thing with true passion – at the end of the day, Music is what really matters and I’m so proud of what we did back then! Can’t wait to start this new chapter!» – Michele Luppi

Each album is a chapter in a grand movie-like tale: themes of redemption, unity and resilience permeate the melodic orchestrations and haunting vocals. Experience the cinematic majesty of “Blood And Angels’ Tears” where each note and lyric merges to evoke a timeless struggle and a heroic journey through the realms of ancient myth and fantastical imagination!

The “Blood And Angels’ Tears” narrative revolves around three angels banished from heaven for their indecision during the cataclysmic war between Lucifer and Archangel Michael. After epochs of solitude, the three brothers stood upon the brink of reunion. Yet Ahreman remained steadfast in his reluctance. Asar and Kah-Kl-Han extended hands in plea. But Ahreman balked at their entreaties, loath to abandon his solitary vigil in the distant East. It would require all their efforts to sway him, his commitment secured with effort, as they embarked on their journey united.
