Album Concept

The album is about the battle between Heaven and Hell and how angels and demons will be affected by it. The song "Evil Spell" tries to explain that not all demons are evil creatures, but they "live under evil spells". The song "Seven Seals" is speaking of the Seven Seals broken in the Book of Revelation. The Fourth Seal is The Pale Horse whose rider is named Death "and Hell followed with Him".
