Eidolon (album)

Eidolon is the fifth studio album by German melodic black metal band Dark Fortress. The album was released on 25 February 2008 through German record label Century Media. The album has also a digipack version. The vinyl record version was released on 14 October 2016, again by Century Media.

This is the first album with Nassos as a real band member. Morean already appeared on Séance as the composer of the song Incide and the arranger of the string section used in the song While They Sleep. The reason he became a member was based on his musical and vocal abilities, his personage and dedication to extreme and dark music. He is responsible for the lyrical concept of Eidolon.

This release is a concept album based on the Greek idea of an astral double, which is similar to the German concept of a doppelgänger. EIDOLON is a concept album which in its nine chapters describes the initiation, dehumanization and unearthly rebirth of a transcending soul by mirror magic and astral projection.
