DESCRIPTION:

This is a very lush record, created in a wide range of colors. It is the Enric Carreras’s favorite, because it believes that it is the one that best synthesizes all the aesthetic postulates it defends: visual evocation, storytelling, radical eclecticism, long-running symphonic formats and drastic and surprising record changes within a same topic.

All these elements are clearly visible in PRESAGIS, to give shape to a disk conceived as a unit and with a clear message behind it: the denunciation of human pride and exacerbated anthropocentrism, which is causing the destruction of the planet.

The title is deliberately ambiguous: good or bad omens? (“Presagis” means “omens”, in catalan). It depends on whether we are able to rectify; perhaps we are still in time to rectify the situation. As a result of these reflections, the album moves between various musical colors: from chaos and destruction, to hope, through passages of great poetry, arising from the contemplation of Nature and the Cosmos.
