“With each song we undertook the interesting if not daunting task of trying to build a world and tell a story in 3-5 minutes. We are hoping that each track successfully transports the listener to that place to experience the story first hand. I’ve always found that the escapism of heavy metal and power metal was one of its best qualities and the ability to leave the world behind for a bit to enter the worlds of fantasy and heavy metal being something that got me through some really tough times in my youth, and that’s a huge motivator for me for creating this band and behind the way we try to craft the listener experience into our songs.” – Siege Perilous
The cover for “Creation’s Call” shows Aeon, the time dragon, breathing life into the Universe. In Creation’s Call Aeon begins to communicate with the song’s protagonist, making him slowly go insane. It’s a fantastical version of the question “Would you go mad if you could actually directly speak with God?”
It’s all centered around Epic storytelling even if those stories are somewhat varied. We wanted the tones and moods to display range in both songwriting and playing while also conveying a cohesive sound and feel all centered around telling epic fantasy stories.
