Yhtye on nyt julkaissut tulevalta albumiltaan ensimmäisenä kappaleena biisin nimeltä ”Epona” ja voit katsoa kappaleeseen kuvatun upean musiikkivideon tästä:
Yhtye kuvailee kappaletta:
Epona’s name derives from the gaulish word for „horse“ (epos). She’s the goddess of horses and protector of their well-being, health and so on.
Yet Epona is also regarded as mother goddess, goddess of wellfare, fertility and health in general. Her status within the Celtic pantheon must have been quite prominent. Ancient inscriptions often add the title „Rigani“ to her name – which means „queen“.
One needs to consider the role of horses in the Celtic society to understand the role and importance of Epona; due to the important role of the horse, Epona was crucial in trade, supply, agriculture, war, and so on!All this is what this song deals with. In short words – it is a prayer offered to the celtic goddess queen!
The song musically also expresses the driving character and dashes like galloping horses.”
