'Retrospection' is their first album which is actually an EP with 6 tracks that already allow to realize the quality of this new project. From the first title, 'Enlightning Lullaby', the symphonic side prevails largely on the metal side because although we are entitled to a few guitar riffs, the whole is quite light and we get closer to bands like 'Eynomia' (see Here), 'Blood Red Soul' (see Here) or 'Chrysilia' (see Here) to name just three that released albums few time ago.
