Little did Lord Delinom know about what he was going to attain when he decided to escape the prison of Dramar. Not only he got lost in the Maze Of Darkness, from where no man had ever survived, but from where the deepest shadows lie he found a sword. A sword that started it all. It was the Sword Of Salvation, a powerful and magical weapon, one sword to rule them all, and now in hands of pure evil.

Longing for revenge, Lord Delinom decided to stand against the Gods who controlled the magical Elements: Fire, Earth, Wind and Ice. By murder and betrayal he managed to gather them at Dale, a place where the Gods kept their meetings. Furious of anger and powered by the Sword Of Salvation, the attack of Lord Delinom resulted in spilled blood and screams of pain. It was time for Lord Delinom to rule the realm of Cryon.

With the help of the Great Spirits of Cryon Sir Amardon rose against Lord Delinom - his own brother. A raving battle emerged, and when the dust finally settled down at the battlefield, last man standing was Sir Amardon. After the furious battle Sir Amardon hid the Elements and the sword, to make sure no evil could arise ever again.

During the following peaceful years, Queen Shemin, beloved wife of Sir Amardon, gave birth to a son, Edel. When Edel grew up, it became inevitable that he had inherited something from the ancestors: the Legacy Of Hate. The last chance of reverting the dark legacy was contacting the Great Spirits, who asked Sir Amardon to use the power of the Elements for the last time. The royals trusted the Great Spirits and agreed to bring the Elements back to Dale - without knowing they weren't communicating with the Great Spirits, but their ancient enemies, who wanted the Elements so they could rule the all existence.

The Great Spirits managed to warn the Queen Shemin in her dream, just in time to prevent the catastrophe that would've enslaved the whole mankind once and for all. A great army was summoned to protect the Elements. The most enormous struggle in any dimension of mankind emerged; no man or wizard or dragon or a mere hobbit had never been in a battle this gigantic, and never will.

But no bravery is enough, no fear is enough, no desperation is enough when the enemy attacks with the army of one million men. The ultimate defeat was coming closer. Sir Amardon chose his best men and hid the Elements deep inside his castle before returning for the last battle against the invaders.

While Sir Amardon and his brave warriors were fighting for their lives, Edel heard voices inside his head telling him to steal the precious Elements and the Sword Of Salvation. No man or woman could stop Edel, not even his own mother Queen Shemin, whom Edel wounded while he fled with the Elements. Destination: the ship of the invaders. Cryon, the planet and the whole universe - everything is now endangered.

This is the story of Cryon, an unforgettable tale the Finnish sextet CELESTY is scheming - an epic fantasy tale, portrayed by the music as powerful and intense as the story itself. The saga started with the debute album Reign Of Elements and continued in the second album Legacy Of Hate. The third part of the saga, Mortal Mind Creation, continues from this breathtaking point.

Mortal Mind Creation not only reveals the future of Cryon, but offers the best CELESTY album ever. Catchy is the word when the Finnish youngsters explode your head and break your neck. The music is more aggressive but yet more melodic than ever, without forgetting the catchiness that makes a good song into a killer. Expect an album full of epic fantasy metal with darker shades and progressive edge. And pray, pray for Cryon.
