 In was the first half of 2020, in the mid of omnipresent lockdowns spreading all over the world when two DEIMOON masterminds – Chag and P.T. – run into each other in the virtual space of internet. The first was looking for somebody to play a guitar solo on his cover of PARADISE LOST track “I am Nothing”, the latter was hanging around searching for some music soulmates in doom.

The EP called “The Nocturnes, First Act: The Hour o...
