“I belong in the woods and have always done so”
(Dead 08.04.1991)

“A Mirror For Ashen Ghosts”is dedicated to Dead/Per Yngwe Ohlin (16.01.1969-08.04.1991).

This is music for all the mentally or physically abused, raped or bullied people who were able to accept and cherish their wounds and go ahead with their lives. This record is a home as well for all those broken ones who decided instead to follow the path of loneliness through branches of grim beauty and passed away beyond the dreaming forest, lying forever like stars in winter rapture for a last day of swirling snow in a mossy lake of ghosts. They are now ashen spirits in misty fields and found their graves in the heart of woods, before finally ascending above black shores to breathe the purest air of a better otherworldly place. We wish them peace and we respect their final choice : may these songs provide a mirror to connect our world with their lost forgotten kingdom.

The song “Through Branches Of Grim Beauty” is dedicated to David Gold of Woods Of Ypres (19.06.1980-21.12.2011).
