Here's what the band had to comment on Capricorn Wolves:

About the concept

This album refers to an existential question upon the reality we live in: what is real and what is simulation, what is tangible and what in eerie.
“The time is measured only by the humans”, “the time does not exist” are collective conscience affirmations about measurements and reporting and it is extremely fascinating for us to understand this concepts.

About the title

The album title:”Capricorn Wolves” presents two elements: an astral and spiritual part, an annual renewal constellation at the end of time, and “wolves” that impersonate the world and society we live in, that dictates everything like in a dystopia: moral conventions, religion, food, technology…altering the ancestral purity of the soul and the primordial freedom of the people, handcuffing in something foreseeable, under order and predictable. It is somehow the central theme of this album unfolded in about 47 minutes.

About the music

Musically speaking, the horizon broadened into long instrumental passages, experimenting with a 70’s progressive and psychedelic infusion into our classic roots of Post / Sludge / Black Metal, gathering in the end a strange and hermetic mix-up that has its own style.
