This album evokes above all the strong emotions that men can feel during difficult moments, hereby addressing subjects such as loss, rebirth or perseverance.

[7] Ithilien distinguishes itself from other metal bands by the presence of real folk instruments on stage as well as their albums recordings, but also by what the musicians wear live, resolutely of Viking inspiration (armor of leather, skins of beasts, make-up warriors, etc.).

The first official music video from the album, "Blindfolded", appeared on January 9, 2017, showing the new line-up, completed with violinist Myrna Mens and guitarist Tuur Soete.

[13] Tour dates were then planned in various Belgian cities[14] and abroad with the dutch folk metal act Heidevolk, but also with Ensiferum, Skyclad and many others.

According to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the mourning process is usually theorized in 5 stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

[8] At the beginning, Ithilien offers an epic mix between black and death, all influenced by traditional folk Celtic and Nordic music.
