Eh, it's time for the Imaginos Risen Revenant Remix project :)

Ever since I first encountered it, I've never been able to get this 
image out of my head:

"Out beyond the Europe's rim and further by far, beyond the sphere of 
light, into a place where darkness is omnipotent and never from hungry. 
In Mayaland in the Yucatan he will discover an unheard-of temple or 
pyramid. At the core of the pyramid, with only one way in and no way 
out, is a chamber of jade, curiously sculpted with impossible angles, 
itself surrounding something hardly there, a new germ, made from 'pieces 
of the perfect black.'In the chamber of jade is a mirror carved of 
blackest obsidian, black volcanic glass, tempered with blood: 'the sugar 
of sacrifice.' Obviously a magic mirror, it is nothing less than the 
Magna of Illusion ...."

That's just so awesomely cool :)  It's got all the weird occultic 
mythological madness that fantasically oriented heavy metal could want, 
but without the overused wizards'n'demons'n'dungeons'n'dragons theme.

Can we have some wild picture of the Chamber of Jade on album cover? :) 
  Can we film the video in Chichen Itza or something? :)

Cheers,
Carl
