Vocal connecting to the song canvas mutes the music, mysterious and abxious guitar passages hang over it. However, despite the premonitions of trouble and anxiety for the coming events, music creates an atmosphere of dark charm.
Developing the idea of dark romance Planete Heurt sounds like an enchanting ballad, pensively rolling out the gloomy mysteries of obscure omens.

But the twilight only recedes, returning again.
Unclear Throa fog changes everything around, becoming denser and tighter in the creeping waves of twilight anxiety. Vocal joins these meditations, bridge is followed by a soft and sensual respite.
Some waves of drive are flowing with a stern march La Liberte Aux Ailes Brisees, the vocals seem to hide on the background behind the accompaniment, rolling the guitar riffs onto the roadway of the chosen path.
The soft guitar fingring passages, rare keynoards notes and vocals, uttering their phrases in a subdued, whispered whisper, create a mysterious ballad Nature Morte that puts a lot of riddles.
