This one is very dear to me and it marks the time that I began showing interest in the Portuguese Underground scene. It's not insanelly good but the songs are catchy and melodic. I love the Neo-Classical and Folk elements in the guitar solos, miguel did an amazing job there as did Ana Lara with her beautiful voice. Its a shame Oratory didnt stick around to their promissed 3rd Album and disbanded a few years after the Interludium EP, they were one of my favourite Portuguese bands. I guess the Portuguese Metal fans dont really apreciate Melodic stuff.

I rediscovered this album on my collection, haven't spin it for some years but never forgot the band or the songs. It's also special to me. They were on a rising path, no one knows how good or famous they would eventually become but they were a very promising band.
