''When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them’’ - here's the Children of the Pope

We wanted to discard the unimportant.
Songs about life and the living and songs about death and the dead.
Songs about God and the heavenly, songs about hell and the unholy.
Sounds of youthful wonder and the melancholy of time.
Love and hate and the opposites of the the great untold, in extreme, melted together in a boundless pot of sweet surrealist molasses.
The all, through the unmodified eye.

Recording the album was an against the clock under pressure process that turned out very fruitful.
We tracked 12 tracks in 5 days in the dead of winter 2022. Snow and ice and trying to explore the depths of our minds in a dim lit room, trying to put surrealism to tape.

Everything was was recorded on 2 inch reel to reel in live takes (appart from few overdubs also recorded onto tape)

We did not turn any computer on until the mixing process
