KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS:
“This new EP is released first as five separate singles. Those single are a bit special compared to what the band usually does. The character of our story, the knights of Heliopolis, in addition to being alchemists and in accordance to this same craft, are what we called « planeswalkers ». That means they can travel between worlds and dimensions. The stories happening in this EP are not happening in the chronology of the main narrative arc of the story contained in the EP ‘The Last Guardian’ and the album ‘Ferrum Fero Ferro Feror’. You can see them as side stories that could happen anywhere in the timeline of the Helioverse.
