Dark Fortress strikes back with its new full-length album "Eidolon" which marks the band’s second effort on Century Media Records.

"Eidolon" is the band’s first effort with new vocalist Morean who is also responsible for the intricate lyrical concept. In its nine chapters the album describes the initiation, dehumanization and unearthly rebirth of a transcending soul by mirror magic and astral projection. An "Eidolon" is a Greek concept of an astral double of a living being or a "mirror". The concept describes a magic mirror ritual as while a person is in a trance, the surface of the mirror is used as a gate to enter a new dimension. Three songs each form the album’s three chapters:
