The second major symphonic speed metal project by former Dardian keyboard player Marco Garau! !

“The sequel by ex-Dardian Marco Garau (key), who started a dramatic symphonic metal project with his previous work “The Golden Pentacle” (2021), is finally released! The elite members continue to embody the grand concept story that Marco Garau, the musical leader of Dardian, wrote himself!

The participating members are the same gorgeous members as in the previous album, and the singer is Anton D'Aluso from Costa Rican melodic power metal group WINGS OF DESTINY. On guitar are DERDIAN's Enrico Pistrese, who returned from playing bass in the previous album as a full-time guitarist, and Luca Cerritto, guitarist of Italian prog metal band STAMINA, who also appears on Ian Parry's latest album. On bass is Ollie Bernstein from the Japanese power metal band ILLUSION FORCE, which already enjoys a lot of support. Salvatore Giordano, who left DERDIAN like Marco, also plays drums! It has the appearance of a super band.

This album is also a concept album with songs created based on an original story by Marco, and a grand story unfolding with the theme of a cursed crown hidden in the fortress of Amtok! Marco says that the story is being conceived as a trilogy, and a third installment is currently in the works, following the second installment. The song is a symphonic speed metal style that will leave DERDIAN fans in tears, and it is a masterpiece that further advances the flow of the previous work, with Anton's emotional singing, technical, classical arrangement, and full of beautiful melodies! Roland Grapow was used for the mix and the sound is perfect!

The Japanese edition bonus track includes the power ballad “To Eternity And Back…” featuring a beautiful piano that Marco created especially for his Japanese fans! ”
