about

To forget your life is a truly ill fate, especially when one has to live a shadow for what seems to be an eternity.
At dawn, a fresh sheet of snow over the forest meets the eye. A reminder of the beauty that you have missed for such a long time. A reminder, a reminder of what life is.
You may have lost all your gems and stones along the way, but memories only exist when rememberred.

Shadow Scales sets a lively and cold atmosphere. 'Befallen ill' tells a very melancholic first part of the tale, of rememberring bits of your past life and deciphering what those memories really mean. Mesmerizing flows lead to cold turns and surprises; at every point in life, something can change dramatically.
Every track comes with its own art and a poem; click every individual link to engulf yourself further into winter.

You are lucky to have those memories; who are you without them? Though, winter cannot last forever.

---

When my basket became heavy and full;
That was a turning point.
There were so many pretty rocks and gems,
But how much I tried,
I couldn't fit another in the basket.

And try I did, plenty,
Until the basket broke and the rocks scattered.

I remember trying to smile at your funeral,
Our final memory together.
But no one came to cry for me and my broken basket.
