The documentary was recorded in November 2019 and we had no idea what was coming. We didn’t even mention about the pandemic… As all of you know, all of our plans for 2020 have been ruined. All of our tours were canceled in Asia, Europe, United States, Canada and so on. Despite our Mother Earth’s relentless rage against humans (Coronavirus), we are already working on new compositions. Beelzeebubth is working on a solo project too. A big hug to all our fans, friends, bands, producers, road crews, label and tour managers, pub staff and so on. We can’t wait to come back to road to keep our work on and on. Greetings form Brazil. Stay safe!” MYSTIFIER recently also released videos for the songs ‘Witching Lycanthropic Moon’ and ‘Akhenaton (Son Mighty Sun)’, both taken from 2019’s “Protogoni Mavri Magiki Dynasteia” album.
