Music For Firewalkers
is the synthesis of several styles (Neo-folk, Martial Industrial, Ethno-Ambient, World Music, and a dose of experimental). Elements of traditional Indian music blend with European-style military marches. The album oscillates between intensity and contemplation, offering a truly special atmosphere that is both abstract and epic in its depth.
To be a firewalker means
that you are ready to be consumed by flames.
As a firewalker you embrace this spirit of voluntary death
in the name of harmony instead of tragedy.
Harmony is thus the natural essence of firewalking.
Music for Firewalkers
is a struggle to find harmony
any time any place
where it seems to be unreachable.
Harmony of peace and war,
harmony of sacrifice to be taken,
harmony of hope and emptiness
of love and loneliness
of pain and relieve
of fire and water in one perfect embrace.
And speaking of musical sense,
it is the harmony between avantgarde and traditionalism.
