"A young boy raised by the Nymphs.
A young man starts wandering.
He discovers and witnesses strange deeds.
He saw the snake biting the grape.
Venom is spilled.
Sirius and Orion, high in the sky.
Aurora and her roses beholds Arcturus.
Now it's time to pick up grapes, and bring them home.
Let them dry and put them in the shade.
And turn them into liquid.
Satyrs, Maenads gather around the drunken god.
Obscene frenzy for the inebriated lord.
Frightening spirits forming a strange procession.
Fucking, pucking, drinking the violet venom."

"Diogonos" (in Greek, the one who was born twice) was recorded live in 5 days in early march 2023 at the Heldscalla Studio by Raphaël Henry and consists of eight tracks that exude Metal from every pore. Ferocious and primordial Doom with marked Black-Thrash veins and which combines gloomy riffs, steaming guitar solos and oppressive atmospheres with great evocative power, to which two other worshippers of the violet venom contributed. Both comes from the ranks of the Black Metal horde known as MANZER : Shaxul plays ancient flutes on the interlude titled "Blossom," while Ogma shreds a double guitar solo at the end of "Ad Nauseam."
