"The time has come to unveil you a second song of the upcoming album…..and a grand one it is: the title track "Vissodomontas."

The band are currently at work on their second full length album, but have posted the following message regarding the split:
"The Magus, singer of Yoth Iria in 'Under His Sway' EP and 'As The Flame Withers' album has decided to leave the band and to be concentrated in his own project The Magus.
"I know The Magus (for me George) for a lifetime as we met each other for the first time in the late eighties in Exarchia square. It was a great honor for me to work with him again after our Rotting Christ years in the beginning of my new band and his contribution was essential and unique.
"I knew from the beginning that George was really busy and of course his theory and philosophy against live shows but at least I liked to make an album again with him. I think the result was good, of course the history will judge about it.

Be blessed forever brother U & family!
