“In dim corners behind the town, the gallows hill is towering, generally avoided by waggoner carriages, as long as they are able to sidetrack it on a more merry path. Not by witch covens though, as they are well aware of the surrounding forbidden ground’s magickal qualities. Below the stiff feet of the dead, they search for the strangest root in shape of a tiny man; the root that unlocks the hidden nightly pathways through the sky, through which fetid he-goats and bats carry them towards the secret gatherings of heretics. ”
The Fires of Krupina is a concept story based on real happenings that occured in the town of Krupina during 17th century, amidst the numerous witchcraft trials that swept across Europe of those days. The artwork was created for the album by Malokarpatan.
