Luca Turilli states:"'Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution)' is surely a special album for all of us. It's original, various, modern, intense, symphonic and progressive, built around the vocal skills and unique talent of Fabio. In short, the perfect album of transition from the power/speed metal of the past to a new generation of modern symphonic metal offering us new exciting artistic stimulations, wider perspectives and future possibilities. After the farewell tour we accepted to be part of this new adventure only if we could have realized a debut album like this, closer to the music we like to listen to nowadays. We refused any compromise or any easy commercial operation. Time is running fast and in this moment of our life, as we always did until now, we chose to create some new music respecting our heart and soul, as art should always rhyme with heart. Low tuned guitars and riffs à la Rammstein, vocal arrangements à la Queen, the progressive elegance of Dream Theater, the powerful yet ethereal and rarified atmospheres of bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation, electronic music, ethnic instruments from different geographic areas of our wonderful planet… no artistic limits anymore. We trust in our beloved fans and their fundamental support for this being just the beginning!"

Fabio Lione adds: "'Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution)' is the album we always wanted to do and a new beginning for us, there's really a lot of stuff inside and surely something unique and original. Every song offers a different musical adventure, this record is fresh, various, modern, intense, symphonic and progressive. I'm sure most of the listeners will be surprised and will enjoy the variety and the different "colors" we can offer in the songs. Thanks to our fans we were able to have a great production and the perfect album to start our new path with this unique new band and sound!"

Earlier, the band relkeased two songs from the album.

Vocalist Fabio Lione states: "'Phoenix Rising' represents the bridge between our past and our artistic future, including some elements of the traditional symphonic metal school combined with heavy guitars, the modern sounds we love nowadays and an ethnic interlude featuring the unique voice of Mongolian artist Uyanga Bold. Once recorded, 'Phoenix Rising' got immediately stuck in our head and we found ourselves singing the chorus all day long. For all these reasons we consider it as the perfect opener for our debut album and for our upcoming live shows!"

Guitarist/keyboardist Luca Turilli adds: "Fabio's emotional performance underlines the intense lyrics inspired by sacred geometry, quantum physics and the secrets of the ancient wisdom, telling about a human being and his dramatic process of self-realization after experiencing an inner quake and the impelling need to move beyond the illusion of duality and the loops related with the material aspects of life in order to reach a higher level of consciousness and find his place in the geometry of existence."

Singer Fabio Lione says: "While our first single 'Phoenix Rising' mainly represented a bridge connecting our artistic past and future, with 'D.N.A. (Demon And Angel)' we intend to show the modern side of our new band, presenting a song based on heavy guitars, electronic synths and featuring as special guest Elize Ryd of Amaranthe. We all love Elize's wonderful voice and we immediately thought of her for the duet of this song!"

Guitarist/keyboardist Luca Turilli adds, "Lyrically, 'D.N.A. (Demon and Angel)' investigates the deepest inner nature of the human being in accordance with some of the most revolutionary studies related with psychoanalysis, focusing on the "shadow archetype" and its relation with the "psychological projection" based on which we tend to see in the other people that dark side we are not able to accept as being part of ourselves. The "mirror" of Carl Gustav Jung doesn't reflect any illusion and it simply reveals the only way for someone to evolve is based on the fundamental acceptance of his dark side, first step to become conscious of the own shadow, being able to control it and finally transform it into a sparkle of light."
