The debut full length album :Fire:Water:Ash: is now being mixed and will be released in 2008.

Here are some reviews for the debut demo EP:

?This is a welcome voice to the Pagan metal field, and one we will be hearing much more from in future. The question is not whether they will receive the backing of a label and record their full-length; it is simply a matter of when? 9/10.?

?Unique musical vision ? some of the most superb lyrics that I have ever read? [t]he thing that does make this band highly original is their ability to combine almost raw black metal with extremely beautiful and atmospheric neofolk ? insane solo ? [a]ll in all, fantastic EP from a new band?.
