FROM CULT OF FIRE:
Namaste, 
After announcing our European tour in December, we are proud to reveal the cover of our upcoming album "The One, Who is Made of Smoke"! 
Even though the cover is less colorful than what you are used to, it will be our most personal and profound release yet. The album will be dedicated to Goddess Dhumavati and all the widows of our world. Devi Dhumavati is the seventh of the ten Mahavidya Goddesses, and there will be seven songs on the album. To satisfy her extreme hunger, she once swallowed Lord Shiva. Although she later disgorged him at his request, Lord Shiva rejected her and cursed her to take the form of a widow. She is Dhuma, the Goddess of smoke. Always hungry and thirsty, she leads people away from the bondage of material desires to the journey of self-realization and spiritual rebirth.

Always hungry and thirsty, she leads people away from the bondage of material desires to the journey of self-realization and spiritual rebirth. Vlad, the founding member of our band, visited one of the very few Dhumavati temples in Varanasi, India. He brought many offerings to the Goddess along with the original album cover itself. The pΕ«jari of the temple gave him his blessing and a prasad from the ceremony.
The album's theme revolves around a woman grappling with the profound loss of her closest companion. Isolated and forsaken by both her family and society, she finds herself caught in a delicate balance between existence and oblivion. In this state of vulnerability, she awakens to a newfound purpose through her devotion to the Goddess Dhumavati. This spiritual journey brings richness to her life, filling it with happiness and love that transcend material concerns, focusing instead on divine connection.
We have combined the reverence for Devi Dhumavati with our personal journeys through profound loss and shared struggles, all woven together with music to forge something truly unique. 
We are thrilled to share this creation with you!
