A voice :- And if you turn
another page, what do you see?
Himtos :- A door.
A voice :- And beyond that door?
Himtos :- Light. Only light that turns all the world into a
dream.
A voice :- And now?
Himtos :- Its all dark. The book is closing.
A voice :- And now what do you see?
Himtos :- Nothing.
A voice :- And now?
Himtos :- Nothing.
A voice :- And now?
Himtos :- Nothing, nothing
.nothing.
In 'Prophetia' we narrate the story of the imaginary
voyage of Himtos. Himtos could be me, you, or whoever else.
This trip through the states of the mind and the states
of the heart is symbolically included among the pages
of a huge book, 'Prophetia'. Every time the character leafs
through the book, he is projected into a new fairy tale set
in a place and in an era different from the ones the characters
left behind. It is just like following our own karma and living
a sequence of lives.
In 2016 we decided to go back to our roots, at the very end
of the 80ies and, on the occasion of the re-issue of our very
first demotape 'Prophetia' (self-produced in 1990), we felt
that it was time to see what we could do with some of the songs
written between 1988 and 1989.
Keeping the feeling and the music structures exactly the same
of some decades ago, we have recorded three previously unreleased
tacks putting together the old aura with new unexpected sensations.
Moreover, the second CD included in the A5 limited edition contains
several versions of songs written before 'Prophetia', the starting
point, our music childhood, and we are proud of it, whatever
it is ! Many of the songs we released before 'Prophetia' will
remain unknown to the majority of people but some of them have
now found a place exactly as they were (recorded live or during
rehearsals without suitable recorders with no technologic means
with all their rage, pain, instinctive power). Amen
