The album’s eight tracks tell dark tales of the evils that have surrounded us throughout various eras, offering listeners a journey open to interpretation and personal perspectives. The versatile compositions, paired with skillful instrumentation, form a treasure trove for fans of progressive and power metal.
The bass player Jukka Hoffrén reflects on the album's creation and production process: "The making of this album took its time, and with its release, we finally bring one era to a close. I believe things unfold in their own time, and in this case, it took several years. But we're extremely satisfied - this is, without a doubt, our best album so far!"
The album bears the signature sound of Adamantra, blending traditional elements with grandiose choral arrangements. However, it also introduces new elements, with a string quartet featured on three tracks. With two full-length albums and an EP already under their belt, Adamantra’s much-anticipated third album, "Act III - Pareidolia of Depravity", has finally come to life.
