Artist: NIGHTFALL
Album: CASSIOPEIA LTD. EDIT. (DIGI)

Year: 2013
Media type: CD

Metal Blade Records is releasing the band's next album, and second for the label, in early 2013. The previous album, Astron Black & the Thirty Tyrants, was based on the existence of man throughout time and space and how everything is seemingly turning in a spiral course around the race; the race that unstoppably creates and discovers new icons, new religions, new cultures and worlds without cutting off the umbilical cord with its natural instincts that ultimately lie behind all aspects of life.

Cassiopeia has a more specific thesis and though its name is linked to both the constellation and the mythical character of Andromeda's mother, its subject refers to the arrogant characteristic of the human race. The outcome of that overweening state is so popular these very days. The entire world is shifting from its previous position to a new one while all and each one of us used to feel like masters of our destiny are starting to wonder about when, where, and how this transition will end. It may be a punishment like that of Cassiopeia and Andromeda, who claimed themselves to be more beautiful tha even to Nereids, which caused Poseidon to send the sea monster Cetus to destroy their land. Or, it simply may be just another change. Time will certainly tell.

Nightfall comments: "We sincerely hope you will gain much of enjoyment and lots of wondering moments while listening to this very album. Moreover, wish you will absorb all its vital references as to what we, humans, are supposed to do, feel, and act during our transit from planet earth, and why not, to reconsider everything."

Recorded in Greece, Germany, and Nashville, TN; mixed and mastered in Germany. Artwork by Vincent of Above Chaos, France.
