“ I had this vision of an apocalyptic landscape, where humans hang from chains, a mass suicide marking the end of humanity. Chains became the embodiment of that vision: a collision of fiction and reality, where grief mutates into madness and ultimately leads to destruction. The single ‘Ruins of Memories’ reflects a time when all joy is gone, when the past the only good moments, and nothing in the present can bring light anymore. “
