Release code: OPLP526marble "Snowland" is the very first chapter of Sorcier Des Glaces, the spark that made the original flame grow. This first draft was certainly very raw, tinged with innocence and spontaneity. A blizzard had just broken out, in the eternal winter that had just set in. Snowland is cold, really cold, pure, lo-fi in the extreme, achieving the very first goal of what Sorcier Des Glaces wanted to evoke in the eyes of the world. Expressing disgust with the human race by exiling himself to its own snowland, the melodies evoke a certain romanticism of the great Nordic forests. He is then alone to begin his reign on his night's throne."
