Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms)

At its core, the album consists of six compositions that form the central cycle of the release, present across all formats. These pieces carry the primary narrative and atmosphere of the work, ensuring that the essence of the journey remains intact whether experienced on vinyl, CD, or through streaming.

On CD and digital editions, the cycle is allowed to breathe further. In addition to the core movements, these formats include an extended composition and two shorter ambient passages that linger beyond the main arc — not as conclusions, but as echoes. They function as an atmospheric extension, opening a quiet threshold rather than closing the path.

With this release, sincere gratitude is extended to Hammerheart Records, Andy La Rocque, and all contributing voices and musicians — Lussidotter, Dísa Draugurinn, Louvrianne Roux and Lin — whose presence and craft helped shape the album into its final form. A brief glimpse beneath the surface also remains on the limited CD edition, where fragments from earlier sessions quietly resurface, woven into the larger cycle.
