On their Myspace page (www.myspace.com/nonopusdeipoland) you can already listen to the first song entitled 'The Prisoner of the Worlds'. On the lyrical side, the concept will be based on the theory of never-ending cycle which cannot be broken. The same cycle that Nietzsche was told by his Demon.

Klimorh (guitar, vocals, lyrics)
Gonzo (drums)
Budda (guitar)
Rochu (drums)
The band comments on new label and new album: "Our first album for Witching Hour will be underlining the band's legacy, and following the path once chosen. We knew exactly what we want to achieve and how to create such extremity as 'Eternal Circle'. Soon after the beginning of composing we knew there will be no place for compromise. Ultrafast drums parts set on the 'Eternal Circle' on its path. However this in not only blast-beats based fast black metal. We focused on the melodic aspect, and most of all on intriguing but consistent arrangements, on guitars playing unusual parts in interesting harmonies and 'Eternal Circle' is also the summary of our own ideology and obsession on the concept of never-ending cycle."
