We are also releasing this EP as a means of providing our audience with some new music as we prepare to start working on our third album.”
“Lost In The Snow” is the opening track of the EP, painting a heartfelt vision of a friend promising unwavering support through life’s challenges, symbolized by “The Snow.” The poignant lyrics are accompanied by a beautiful melody that enhances the song’s emotional depth, creating a moving and memorable introduction to the EP.

The acoustic arrangement breathes new life into the song, highlighting its emotional depth and showcasing the band’s versatility.
The final track on the EP is “A Sailorman’s Hymn,” a heartfelt reinterpretation of the KAMELOT classic. CARMERIA infuses the ballad with their own distinctive flair, blending rich, atmospheric instrumentation and emotive vocals that add depth and intensity to the song's already heartfelt narrative. This version retains the essence of the original while introducing subtle layers of dark symphonic metal and gothic undertones, making it a standout piece that beautifully encapsulates the EP's theme of timeless longing and hope.
