Knights, this experience in Bilbao was particularly intense, thank you all so much for being there for this journey through the stars. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my music and for chatting with us during this unforgettable evening. Eöl from the legendary Elffor was among us that night, it was an honor to play in his presence, to receive his feedback and support, he's an artist from the scene that I have greatly admired for many years.

I played for the first time with Lord Bakartia's mask on stage, a mythical figure of the Dungeon Synth scene, lord of the Basque Country, and he played with my mask for his performance with Sublime Solitude, magnificently performing his track Izarren Aurkako Guda... It was truly amazing to be able to embody our two different characters through our respective projects, it was a privilege to have done it in Bilbao.

It was an honor to have played with my friends Silencio Permanente, who came from Argentina for their first European tour. I had the opportunity to see their show in Belgium at the Dark Dungeon Festival, their live performance with those old synthesizers and analog effects is always fantastic to listen to and watch with their stage setup.

Thanks to the entire organization through Dungeonlord Records, it was magnificently organized. Thanks to everyone at the Lakobra Lokala venue who handled the technical aspects, the hospitality, the delicious food, absolutely everyone, everything was truly wonderful. We'll be there to attend other events in this superb venue, so follow everything they do!

🇺🇸 IMPORTANT INFORMATION : SHIPPING TO USA 🇺🇸

Shipping as UPS parcels is possible again, but ONLY small packages. For now, all packages exceeding 3 cm in thickness can no longer be sent to the United States.

Shipping prices are too expensive lately, shipments may be delayed, or may get stuck at customs. These are situations that have arisen since the new taxes were imposed.

We really hope that a new, more secure and less expensive solution will be available very soon. I will be sure to keep you informed of any developments on this situation.

The only one live performance of Skhemty at Dark Dungeon Festival inside the Castle Avouerie Anthisnes in Belgium, October 10th 2025.

Particularly glad to have presented the universe of Skhemty in live for this opportunity, all together during this concert, we were gathered to travel together through the warm lands of the world. I tried to give the best of myself through my music for this set, I will be eternally grateful to all those who were there and who supported me.

Eternally grateful to the organizers Estéban and Denis of the Dark Dungeon Festival. Dark Dungeon Festival is the first Dungeon Synth festival in Europe, held in a medieval castle.

A special thanks to my friends, Tristan Feilla from Elyvilon for playing a clarinet part in Skhemty's set, Henri Dumois from Descort and Svampprinsen for accompanying me on percussions during this first live performance of Balrog in the end of the show, to Frostfea for her invaluable help, to Rose Zaka for taking care to film the live on video and take care of the label's stand. Thanks to all my friends in the French Dungeon Synth scene and to my friends around the world.

Hails to the absolutely exceptional wizards and warriors who was on stage at the festival: Anglachel, Arcana Liturgia, A Spell Enraged, Cave Spellcaster, Dragon Mastery, Elyvilon, Fragmented Memories, Seregost, Silencio Permanente, The Wanderer, Valen, Wraith Knight.

Thank you all for being there everyone! 🪲
