In spite of the very low number of copies available and the lo-fi quality of the recording, the record receives a surprising feedback from the italian underground and very good reviews. The critics compared this first release to an album such as "Filosofem" but they underlined a strong compositive personality and a remarkable musical and conceptual research behind it.
In 2005 Malphas (Tronus Abyss, Offizial Propagande) as bass player and Francesco La Rosa (Ianva, Malombra, Segno del Comando) as drums player join the band whereas Vinctor keeps handling vocals and guitars.
The new album is finally ready and it proposes a wide change in style and a great improvement in quality standards. It is called FVLGVRES and it is made up of 7 tracks for more than 40 minutes of music.
Conceptually the album is based upon the shattering of human limits and condition, upon the longing and the temporary conquest of real moments of awareness and contact with the peaks of trascendence. As already stated musically expect something intense, aggressive, melancholic, solemn.
There is also a Song called "Pietas I" on a Sampler called "B.M.I.A. Compilation".
Vrsa Major
Janvs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dal carro del Dharma
Solstieni questo arciere
Oltre le acque
E i flussi deldivenire
Che cullan le chiuse bare
D'inette vite umane
Già morte da immani ere
Segui il carro dell'Orsa Maggiore
Divino Auriga risveglia il furore
Ma v'è una sfida
Imposta dal Dharma
Impugna la sacra arma
Sacrifica la tua paura
Abiura ogni aporia
Di vita che non sia
In guerra risoluta
E in vita realizzata
Segui il carro dell'Orsa Maggiore
Divino Auriga risveglia il furore
Oltre i due caos risorgi
Su infere acque segui
Ciò che immoto rimane
Come nell'Orsa Maggiore
The lyrics of Janvs's song Vrsa Major describe the journey of the divine charioteer or Divino Auriga, who is a symbol of inner strength and determination. The song talks about following the path of righteousness and facing the challenges of life with courage and determination. The Solstice, or the sun's position, guides the archer beyond the waters and the flows of time. There is a confrontation with the Dharma, or the path of right action, which requires the archer to pick up the sacred weapon and overcome his fears. The song talks about sacrificing one's fears and doubts and embracing a life of resolution and fulfillment. The Orsa Maggiore, or the Great Bear constellation, is a symbol of strength and endurance, and the charioteer urges the listener to follow its path and awaken their inner strength.
The lyrics of Vrsa Major are deeply philosophical and metaphorical, drawing on ancient wisdom and mythology to offer a message of hope and empowerment. The song is a call to action, urging the listener to embrace their inner warrior and overcome the challenges of life with courage and determination. The Orsa Maggiore is a powerful symbol in many cultures, representing strength, protection, and guidance. This song is an ode to the power of the inner self, urging the listener to follow their inner compass and awaken their potential.

Lyrics in English:
"Divine charioteer
From the chariot of Dharma*
Uphold this bowman
Over the waters
And the flows of the future
That cradle the closed coffins
Of inept human lives
Dead ages ago
[Chorus]
Follow the chariot of the Great Bear**
Divine charioteer reawaken the fury
But here comes a challenge
Imposed by Dharma
Brandish the holy weapon
Sacrifice every fear
Abjure every aporia***
Of life that isn't
In resolute war
And in life fulfilled
[Chorus]
Rise above the two chaoses
Over hellish waters follow
What motionless stands
Like the Great Bear"
