While some tracks explore familiar combinations of symphonic metal and folk influences, like the Northern and Celtic sounds, others push the boundaries with more experimental and unconventional fusions, incorporating instruments such as the Armenian duduk and Indonesian suling and gamelan.

Our first full-length conceptual album. ‘Crime of Passion’ is inspired by John Fowles’s novel ‘The Collector’. It tells a coherent story which started as an unhealthy obsession and stalking and resulted in murder, both from the side of the murderer and his victim.

Compared to our first EP ‘Game on’, ‘Crime of Passion’ has a way darker sound and vibes. The story we tell here doesn’t have a happy ending, so you are witnessing how the situation unfolds, getting more and more intense and having a tragic finale.

Dive into our debut EP, a symphony of melancholy and melodic intricacy. Discover the very beginning of Belle Morte, where sombre cello and violin interlaced with powerful guitars and drums. From the powerful mid-tempo progressions of ‘Child of Night’ to the twisted waltz of ‘Devilish Deal,’ each track is a unique journey. Step into our world and experience the orchestral allure of ‘Game On.'”

The only issue I have with this EP is that it is too short. ‘Game On’ offers four tracks of beautifully arranged and skillfully executed Gothic/symphonic metal.
