Underneath is more than just a symphonic metal album - it's a deeply personal expression of emotion. Built around the compositions of keyboardist George van Olffen, the record captures two decades of musical ideas, coming to life with the current line-up formed in 2021. Underneath was meticulously mixed and mastered by Daan Janzing, ensuring a sound that strikes the perfect balance between heaviness and melody. The artwork of Gogo Malone completes the package.
