Thomar
Euthymia’s back to compilations. This time the release is called “Thomar” and is represented by people related with this city situated in the middle of the country. Land of the Templars, “Thomar” - now called simply Tomar - is a rich place in History that several times influenced the destiny of Portugal.

I had the pleasure to be raised there during my childwood, in my grandparents house, in this dreamlike place with all this unique and strong identity highly influenced by Roman, Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures and traditional pagan superstitions at the same time.

The song chosen for this special release is called “The Serpent” and it’s an unreleased work that I’ve done with my long time band / revolution partner João Queirós ([f.e.v.e.r.] and Volstad) back in 2001, during the The Fever Experience remix sessions (as we both signed in this period several remixes). The samples editing was made on PC but sequenced on an old MPC and mixed using regular headphones in one night. And it sounds pretty good. And it fits even better.

The referenced song is the most ethnic oriented that I’ve ever recorded. And nothing that I’ve done before, reminds me more of that unforgetable period of my live.

The release party is taking place during this weekend and unfortunally I can’t be present due to some personal affairs, but I really hope you do. A compilation that can talk about the past for some person but is indeed about the future. Slowly. But we will win. I’ll get back soon with some more releases news. Meanwhile, all the info follows below:
