Track By Tracks: Rhodium - Sea Of The Dead (2019)

Sea of the Dead may not be a concept album, nevertheless most of the songs have a common denominator. Man and his battle for survival. Throughout the stories we recount, we try to motivate people to act against all wrong doings around them and lead them to spiritual awakening.

Path of Wrath and Man of Honor broach the very serious matter of pedophilia with a purpose to make people stand up to abusers, even if they appear to be above suspicion.

The First Light of Day is allegorical. It may seem to describe the tale of creation, but through this story it showcases how people are alienated and caged in their isolation, everyone fighting their personal demons.

When you reach the end of your time, what would be your last thoughts? Who are the people who touched you most and made you remember them? Tapestry of Time is a love song which raises those questions.

Fight Back, the second to last song, has an obvious exhortation to awake people from being passive, urge them to resist and make justice prevail.

Finally, Doomsday is a bonus track which deals with a deadly virus and the fall of mankind.
