Pavulon comments: “Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment is a commentary on how I perceive the surrounding reality and is inspired by everything that I encountered throughout the years. It is a form of releasing the pressure and frustration growing within for many years, a form of catharsis, a sort of therapy – coming to terms with my demons and finding the strength to pursue my goals against all odds.“
Debut album will be released March 8, 2024 digitally and on CD by Polish well known label Selfmadegod Records. Pre-Order is available in label’s webstore HERE
