Musically, it looks like a tune that goes again to the very first Ahab track ‘The Stream’ from 2004, at occasions, and even additional to the early 90s when demise metallic exploded. You’ll know what I imply if you hear that individual riff within the mid part. ‘Mobilis in mobili’ deservedly ended up in our dwell set, because it’s a pleasure to play it on stage.
