"Decline... Towers of Silence" is a concept album about the Towers of Silence, funerary structures used by the followers of the prophet Zoroaster. According to their beliefs, human cadavers are impure and should not contaminate the Earth. For this reason they are moved to the Towers of Silence so that the vultures may devour their flesh and the sun can bleach their bones until they become dust. But the progress spiral in which we currently find ourselves is hopelessly disturbing this civilization, as these ancestral constructions are being absorbed by big cities. The problem is aggravated by the near-total extinction of the vultures that formerly carried out that purifying task. And this is, in the band´s own opinion, a metaphor for the real fate of human beings: Self-destruction.
This second album has been recorded and mixed by Carlos Santos (Hamlet, Adrift, Toundra...) on his Estudios Sadman in Madrid. The mastering process has been held by Jens Bogren, who has worked with bands such as Opeth or Enslaved.
