“The witches one by one report their doings to a curious nobleman, dressed in the latest Aragonese fashion, from whose velvet stockings there are but hooves sticking out. The damped auburn chiaroscuro of the evening makes winter’s proximity to be felt and lends dreamful features unto those attending. Time stands still and these last moments of freedom belong only to them: followers of an ancient faith, hidden among common folk — a faith from when the world was young and wild Pan hunted under the stars in Arcadian forests.”
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.
