Information

• The cover shows "The Dance of Death" by Michael Wolgemut from 1493. It was released in the "Nuremberg Chronicle" of Hartmann Schedel.
• Die Maske des roten Todes (The Masque of the Red Death) is the name of a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, which was released in May 1842.
• On 26 August 2024, FHM Records announced via newsletter, that they will reissue the remastered album on vinyl. The pre-order was made available on 16 December 2024, with a release date of 31 January 2025. The album was avilable as a test press, limited to 15 copies, and in the colours black (200 copies), clear (100 copies), red (100 copies), and gold (100 copies).
• Inside the booklet are two short stories about the songs and the making of the album:

"The Mystic Mystery"

51 lightyears away from Earth is a planet unlike Earth. Nothing there is natural anymore, because the residents got rid of nature and carried their evolution in their own hands. No plant, no animal and no tree is real anymore, and there is no way back. They sent an expedition to Earth, to find nature again. They land on a royal court in the dark ages. The music tells what happens next.

Genesis
It's Aljoscha's fault. He first heard the horns a few years ago on a medieval market. Since then he tried to bring medieval music and Feeling B together. The first try was the song Revolution 89? in 1990. The real start was in Summer 1992 June when a medieval settlement got built in Steinbrücken. The only thing missing were musicians, which we found in a pub near Ribnitz-Damgarten, living in a court. Rene, Guido and Jead. They abandoned house and farm and arrived. The music that we made together got ruined by Feeling B and shortly after pressed on disc. We don't claim to protect any cultural heritage.
