This is an insight into the Concept of "EREVOTHEN", revealing a part of vital importance that was deliberately left out of the story, leading to an alternate interpretation of events. The first Chapter begins with the unexpected arrival of a Catastrophic Typhoon, which takes place in the Cape of Tainaron, a Historical site where there was believed to be the Entrance of Hades. The protagonist of the story invokes Zeus to protect him from Nature's Wrath, while he runs for shelter towards a Cave. The same Cave that a Nekromanteion Temple was built into. In the second Chapter he finds himself in complete Darkness, unable to explain how he ended up in that place, which he soon discovers to be a complex of Caves. And there begins his strange Quest to return back to the outside, passing through the Bleak and Ominous Paths of the Hellenic Netherworld, facing Pyriphlegethon, the Flaming River that streams from the Earth’s Bowels and encountering Eurynomos, the Corpse-eating Daimon of Hades. In the final Chapter he is inexplicably transported to a lush Field of Asphodels, seemingly Beautiful yet unsettling, where he is lured by the Nymphs into a nearby Forest. A Primordial Ceremony is taking place there, and in that very moment he is shattered by a Tragic Revelation: it's his own Funeral he is witnessing, facing his own Pale Body lying dead on the Soil. The detail that is intentionally missing from the story is that the protagonist never really managed to enter that Cave and protect himself from that Horrifying Cataclysm. He was struck by Lightning and suffered a sudden and unrighteous Death. In those few moments of post-Mortem brain activity, he is experiencing the Separation of his Soul (Psyche) from its earthly Vessel (Soma) and its Journey to reach the Unseen Perpetuity of the Cosmic Truth. His human Consciousness copes with the acceptance of Demise and Oblivion by inventing this story, which is actually a Figment of his Imagination blended with his Native Traditions, Legends and Ancestral Lore. Viewing this Quest through a Platonic Prism, one can observe the various stages of Deliverance that the Soul is passing through, after being released from its Mortal prison, to return to its temporary Destination: the Flowing Universe of the Eternal Ideas and Archetypes.
'Erevothen' is a true masterpiece. A well thought-out thematic concept complemented by sheer musical talent, dedication, skill and passion. The acoustic sections are also magnificent. A sublime album.
Excellent - glad to see people take some real consideration into the art they are creating, that elevates our culture and our people. Hail Victory brother!
It ain’t night of the werewolf but I totally and thoroughly enjoyed this new project and I am even gladder that you are still making music and doing your thing, as a long time fan of wolfnacht and now a new fan of this project, please keep up the work!

That could easily become a top series in netflix! :))
@@darkwarlord1485 no wokeness is involved in this story so, no, it couldn't.
@Athalwolf Fascinating concept that makes for an epic album. Reminds me of concepts I’ve read in Jung and Serrano, any book recommendations?
'Erevothen' is a true masterpiece. A well thought-out thematic concept complemented by sheer musical talent, dedication, skill and passion. The acoustic sections are also magnificent. A sublime album.
Always inspiring
