Further points of interest:

“‘The Embers of Eternity’ was inspired by all the disturbing events going on in the world today, and how a lot of people refuse to look at what is really going on.

The drums were recorded at the same studio as our first album. Apart from the drums, the rest of the album was recorded in our home studios.

We got to borrow a bunch of percussion instruments from a music school to record the percussion part on ‘Beneath the Shattered Sky.’

The album was actually done a year before it was released. We just had to wait for studio stuff that was beyond of our control.”
