A FEW WORDS WITH SANTTU LAAKSO OF ASTRAL MAGIC ABOUT HIS “DANCE OF DESTINY” ALBUM

I asked Santtu about the lyrics of the vocal tracks and the meanings behind the songs on the album:

‘Dance of Destiny’: This is about how we are in the hands of fate or chance; we can’t know what’s around the corner.

‘We Plunge into Chaos’: This was written after Trump was elected, as I couldn’t see much hope for mankind and our planet with this kind of greedy dictator destroying everything that is good.

‘Transmission Psi’: This is an improvised narration about an inter-dimensional transmission from somewhere else. I have made also ‘Transmission from Alpha to Omega’, each letter of the Greek alphabet; just one remains unreleased at this point.

‘Slumber of the Ancient Ones’: This is based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft whose books I used to read when I was younger,

‘Zep Tepi’ is about the mysterious ‘First Time’, as described in esoteric Egyptian writings; a time before man.
