MYSTICAL UNDERWORLD

Italian Symphonic/Power Metal act, Winterage just released their new album, "Nekyia." The front cover artwork was designed by Greek artist, Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design.

"We wanted an abstract and mystic location which could describe visually the evil sound of the album, but remaining in the Power Metal context," the band's members comment. "The artwork represents a mystical underworld: the Nekyia was an Ancient Greek ritual when you could descend in the underworld to talk with the spirits obtaining from them wisdom and advices, but in our concept there was also the descending into our most terrifying subconscious, with the purpose to better know yourself. So, our ideal underworld for this album is both frightening and luminescent because, you'll pass through the arduous path of the self-knowing, but you will reborn complete as human being."
