The album lyrics explore a wide range of themes, from the pursuit of fulfilling dreams to loneliness, sadness, the ceaseless quest for faith and salvation, wars and conflicts related to religion, and the connection to a higher religious entity. In other words, they represent the search for inspiration in the continuity of life, even if it entails confronting conflicting emotions.
Featuring stunning production by Roger Fingle (known for Blood Tears and Seduced By Suicide), “Isolation” is a masterful demonstration of the project’s ability to uphold its distinctive musical identity and elevate it to a level that is certain to delight genre enthusiasts. This is achieved through the incorporation of epic and progressive elements.
Janilson Quadros shares his thoughts on the new album: “Creating this record presented a significant challenge, as it required us to preserve our characteristic style from previous albums while simultaneously striving to evolve musically by incorporating elements of Power Metal. However, I believe I have achieved a remarkable balance, delivering a work that proves captivating and engaging for listeners.”
