about

This mountain is haunted. It's not the sound of wind upon the rock faces or the trickle of water from a stream. A witch lives there. It is said that no one has seen her true face.

A few merchants gone astray were killed last week. The lone survivor says that they met only a woman beyond the forests, on the only path that leads to the summit. Her face was of unequaled purity...

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
