I got to know your music when I was just a young man. I was only 17 years old. my classmates discussed music and sang Return of the Werewolf in between lectures. and I was hooked, I asked for a listen and ... and it was like finding in the darkness of your room a mysterious door leading to an ancient forest, to a world where there are werewolves, where criminals there are doomed to go to their execution, where there are deals with the devil, where there are sinister witches ... to a world saturated with bitter melancholy but this melancholy is so dear, so attractive that you cannot resist, you yourself are ready to soak in it, ready to plunge into it. the world of a fairy tale, a world of fantasy, a world that allowed me, a 17-year-old man, to forget about all the problems and fears that exist at this age, to gain faith in the future, a faith myself and become stronger as a person. in many ways, what then did not pull my hands down is your music. it was 2008. now I am 30 years old. I am married, I have been working for a long time, my business is going well, I have long stopped even thinking about the fears and difficulties that tormented me. I sometimes listen to your music for pure pleasure - sometimes out of nostalgia, sometimes to enjoy one of the best records in the symphonic metal genre again. sometimes just to remember what used to motivate me to take a new step forward each time. and you know, knowing that now is 2021 and I never saw the second disc - it just breaks my heart. no news, no updates, no joys. release something. I'm begging. for myself, for all fans from russia. we love you very much. we are looking forward to hearing from you. we miss you very much. you are welcome.
I ripped the old trapped demos from RU-vid years ago, but I didn't realize a demo for this song existed. What an awesome surprise. These demos honestly sound less like demos and more like early sessions/mixes of the final studio recordings.
Epic Metal Kingdom thanks! by far the most requested demo song. We had hoped to have a new sample finished, but the rough mixes are ..... well rough ;)
Having read Bram Stoker's Dracula, this song describes what I imagined the vampire wiping out the Demeter's crew felt like from the crew's perspective. The song brings it all to life (no pun intended). Absolutely awesome. Please release another album.
Awesome song guys, i listen to you on Deezer everyday. As a member of an underground power metal band.. i know exactly how it is to compose 3 or 4 albuns and just cannot release them :P... Well, just saying im a big fan from Brazil, and your songs are an inspiration, keep doing this excelent job!
So great to see my two favorite Swedish bands EVER ( Timeless Miracle) And (Theory In Practice) active again after all these years. I rocked The Enchanted Chamber album every day in high-school circa 2006 and still do to this day! Regards and cheers from San Diego, California!
Hi, guys. I'm a big fan of your band and your creativity. I listened to all your songs, and its are great, magnificent. I think, that every single one is a true masterpiece and classic of modern power-metal. It is really sad that you are so unpopular and forgotten now... But this comment not about that. I think a lot about your songs, about the text, atmosphere and mood, that you're create, and I wanna ask you a question. I want understand the message of your work. I wanna know, what exactly you try to say with your awesome songs. So, I correctly understand that your album is kind of conceptual? It has a story that goes through all the songs? Solid story, sad and poetic? I ask you to tell me anything about it, please. If you have time for this. Thank you a lot. P.S. I can't wait for a new album. I hope you're release it soon.
Константин Шмидт Thanks for the praise! much appreciated:) There is no continuing storyline between the songs. Only the werewolf songs are connected in that sense. Most songs do however deal with the supernatural, but that's the only connection there is.
Thanks for the answer! So what about The Voyage? I've found something common in that song and in Werewolf songs. That I can say about Down to the gallows and Sir Martin. I suppouse that I get something wrong. Your songs are beatiful but hard to full understand. At least can I say that there is one setting?
And, guys, did you like idea to release Church of the Damned on your channel officialy? With subtitles. because not all words in the song are clear for not-english listener, and find good lyrics is kind of impossible thing. Thanks for your creative!
Константин Шмидт Well, the voyage is about vampires and intended as a separate story from the werewolf songs. I do however like the connection between Sir Martin and Down to the Gallows that you are suggesting. It was never intended but it makes perfect sense when you think about it. The werewolf story will of course continue on the new album but there will also be a kind of "spin of" of Into the Enchanted Chamber song. ;)
What makes your demos so interesting is all the little things that didn't carry over or got changed completely. I could swear you cut out some violin sections.
GunvorPlays yeah, there's usually some minor changes made to the album version. We consider the album version to be the definitive version but figured you guys would enjoy the demo :)
If i recall correctly i found out about your music at 2010... Loved every track! Waited forever for news! About a year or two ago you revealed that you were recording a new album i was so happy i might have shed a tear! Listening to this demo from 2004 posted at 2017 makes me realize that you keep track of your fans sanity. Keep up the good job in creating timeless miracles! Quick question! The shirts are going to be released with the new album or is it something parallel? (no pressure just wondering) Big fan from Portugal!
Was actually looking into a local merch printer when I saw your message :) Thinking of doing a limited run of ITEC shirts, maybe 50 pcs. This we can do whenever we find a reasonable price. The Under The Moonlight T-shirt will coincide with the album release.
