The sophomore album, and second full-length after last year split LP with SANCTUARIUM, 'Mysteries Of A Flowery Dream' carries an ominous wave of darkness, redefining heaviness with new levels of musical production and arrangements, compared by J. to “a journey into the dialogue between conscious and subconscious dreaming states and the mysteries around.”
The album’s lyrics are in direct line of those themes, echoing the celestial world and how it can help us overcoming ominous times (“The Stars’ Shelter”), how dreams can be interpreted as omens (“Light’s Blood”) and how they allow us to travel the Mayan cosmovision and its various worlds for guidance, healing and messages (“Shores Of Otherness”), among others. You can even find on the cover artwork elements of the ancient Mesoamerican cosmovision, mainly the powerful moon goddess Ixchel, a creative yet destructive entity, portrayed here as the Spider and threading human fate like an umbilical cord, determined to give life but also to destroy it if needed. A frightening, fragile yet utterly fascinating balance perfectly illustrated by "Mysteries Of A Flowery Dream".
