It is a work developed and conceived by the multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Víctor Hugo Piiroja. “This is an album with many influences and its own identity. Alchemia’s music is a mixture of styles. From conception to completion, every detail has been carefully tested. I decided to take the tempo that was necessary to obtain the intended result, with that it took us 3 years to finish this album, from the composition to the completion of it”, commented Piiroja.

The lyrics deal with reflection, conscience, mental prison, phobias, and psychological disorders, creating a context of terror from the inside out. The song “Nightmares” is an example. “The lyrics of this song show that life can be a nightmare when we live in a reality that does not reflect our essence, asking if you want to wake up from this nightmare and live something different,” Piiroja explained.
