This is the anniversary album of NECRO STELLAR, consisting mainly of restored and rewritten material of 90’s. Having looked back with smile, I see all our ups, jumps and downs, dark days of emptiness, stale bread and phantom pain of the gone and dead epoch. I pay my last hasty and unabashed tribute to the bitter and dissolute time. To the time that was won and missed, buried without honors, pity and commemoration. The time that is finally ended.
And therefore, our album – is naturally on the Limit of Transition. By the fact of its existence it, in the sense, modestly finishes the mean epoch of decomposition of 90's- 2000's. And the New Songs look far in a light distance. The Songs of the New Time – for incarnate Streams of the Flame, for punishing old and building the new world, for all those who «has come to release the Sun»...
Love and peace – in everyone's heart.
