Originally conceived as a thematical split Lp covering the old European festive day of Samhain, the album suffered a minor delay because of Covid-related matters. And floods in the factory. And a good old chunk of general misfortune. OPERA IX return with one new, unreleased track, called ?Necromantical Sacraments? and a reworking of ?The Call of the Wood? off their 1994 debut Lp. Same pattern is followed by BLACK OATH, strongly delivering a massive ?Samhain? and a re-recording of ?My Death?
