HOMERIK:

The beginning of A Song of the Night, the prologue to “The Circle of Dead Children”.

Homerik's self-titled debut album is best seen as an experiment to explore the unique genre and sound that is now revered as Philosophical Metal/Cinematic Metal. Each composition within the album is a unique story, illustrated by Anton Rosovsky, exploring the boundaries of humanity’s colorful world of music. With the intention of creating a story that would outlast the experimental album, “A Song of the Night: Part 1” was written as the official prologue to what is now known as “The Circle of Dead Children”.
