It’s the story of James Tig, a man who lost his family at sea when he was a young boy, and had set his life-long dream to find the legendary Killagorak a sea monster, who he believes was what killed his family when he was very young, seeking revenge. Teodora Stoyanova Freya (MAGIC OF THE NORTH) provided vocals – playing the part of Nina in the story. <\/p>\n The drums were recorded at Panasound Studio, with the rest of the album recorded and mixed at Winter’s Verge Studios between mid 2018 and the end of 2019.
