The band states: "Greetings all thee!
In 2014 when we were still in the process of creating our first album, The Grey Realms, Anne Lill once woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden urge to write - and by doing so, she wrote the first version of the song “The Waste Land”. The image of the waste land as a landscape and a symbolic scenery was so vivid in her head, that she knew already then that it would become the overarching theme for our sophomore album. Thus we welcome you all to take a peek behind the curtains of The Waste Land and it’s story.
Yours sincerely, Lost in Grey"

The Waste Land represents a place where suppressed thoughts and emotions are buried. In the Waste Land they either die out, or live on as echoes and whispers. It is a place for withering, but also for growth. Additionally we may learn more about the history and thoughts of the characters - Lillian, Odessa and Patrick - or even catch glimpses of what the future will bring. Telling the story, Harri Koskela (also keyboard), Emily Leone (also violin) and lyricist Anne Lill Rajala play the characters within the story and bring a very own touch to it through their diverse voice talents. Additionally, wonderful guest musicians such as Nele Messerschmidt (Elvellon), Andi Kravljaca (Thaurorod), Tero Kalliomäki (Embassy of Silence) and Lasse Nyman (Thaurorod) have contributed to the album making The Waste Land an unforgettable experience.
The stunning new cover was created by guitar player Miika Haavisto.
