This EP contains a remixed and remastered version of the instrumental track "Blood", accompanied by three new tracks.
After releasing the initial single track, I felt there was more to be said. This EP is an expansion of that same concept from the track "Blood" — songs that try to capture the feelings while viewing the horrid reality of the last few months. War is hell, and I don’t trust the politicians who run it. Terror, hate, suffering... So much blood, so much blood...
Appreciation and gratitude to my fellow artists who took part in this project: Tal Gonen, Dorin Hajon (Srefa), Stephan Friedman (Silence & Strength, KCHÖRTOO, Ulican), LYS (病者 / Sleepwalker), Vlad Shusterman (Sleep's Sister, Ghost Bike).
Extra special thanks to Michael Zolotov for bleeding the cover art and to Stephan Friedman for all the editing, mixing, design and pretty much taking the production duties for this album!

A consistently amazing band! Brings in new elements without letting up on the intensity. The saxophone adds an interesting edge, helping with the cacophony, sometimes, almost melodic at others... Brian Parker
