On this 8e studio album, the band led by singer/bassist Mariusz Duda presents more approachable, less dark sounds that never betray their individuality. We can discover Friend or foe?, mine explosion, The place where I belong this I did to you on different listening platforms. An opus that is sure to hit several lists at the end of the year.

Diva
Why not take advantage of the weekend to fly at least in spirit to Italy? Diva tells the story of Camilla, who recently emigrated to Rome with the avowed goal of escaping her disastrous love life, trying to forget her panicky fear of trusting men and denying her inability to make commitments. This simple (love?) story is reminiscent of a popular novel and movie. Eat Pray Love (Eat Pray Love), and you will especially want to board the first plane to Italy to taste the exquisite sweet life.
