Written in Blood" is the opening track of our new album “Poetica”, and speaks about the ancient way of transmitting magical knowledge from one generation to another, among the women of a family. Something like the esoteric legacy, or the legacy of modern witches.

About the new album:
"Poetica" is our eighth album, it represents our need to return to the roots, with a more brutal and chaotic sound. That chaos that is an essential part of the spirit of our music.
The album consists of 8 songs, where we can find dark atmospheres at times enigmatic, recited poetry, melodies in waltz times mixed with very dirty distortions, synthesizers, choirs of voices, whispers and guttural voices, as well as a song sung in Spanish, mythological references , melancholy, darkness and chaos.
The album has two poems written by Ricardo Arocena that are part of the album's lyrics. Ricardo, who, apart from being the father of Natalia Arocena, the band's bassist, is a writer and painter and had already collaborated with Upon Shadows previously, with a poetry that closes the 2019 album "Modern Obscurantism" and with the painted mural that was the cover . from the 2017 single "Fatal Stigma Of The Realist".
We want to thank all those who have been listening to our music through these 20 years of darkness. We deeply appreciate your support!
In rebellion we grow.
