About Me

Founded in 2005 as the Dramatic Orchestral entity of Transylvania born composer/poet George D. Stanciulescu. First demo MCD, "Smaragdine", was released in the mid of 2005, displaying an anomic suite of 7 tabulas, fragranced by a taste of drama and ineluctable aspirations, all mixed into one 22 minutes track. Reviews so far to be found at Legends magazine, Mouvement Nouveau/Tokafi webzine, Aural Pressure, Progvisions.nl, Lunar Hypnosis, Rimfrost Magazine and so on.The full length album , "Rites of Genesis", was released in January 2008 by polish label Rage in Eden, enabling a cinematic and esoteric journey through the whirls of dark symphonic grandeur, timeless romanticism and spiritually challenging descents into the abyss of sounds.
