Ltd. Edition blue transparent vinyl. InchRiver Of DiamondsInch, the sixth solo album by the queen of Scandinavian Gothic Metal, continues on the path set by the EP InchHave Courage Dear HeartInch (2021), which received great international acclaim.All tracks on the new album were composed by Liv's long-time friend Tommy Olsson (Theatre of Tragedy, Long Night) at his Black Rider Records studio in Tau, near LIV Kristine's birthplace of Stavanger in Norway.Carefully spending time with the compositions that kept coming out of Tommy's studio in 2021 and 2022 felt just right, like a yin-yang experience music & pre-mix (Tommy O.), own lyrics and melodies, the finishing touches (mix & master by Eroc) and visuals (photos by M.

The lifeline that flows through all twelve compositions unveils a heart-based personal path, a sense of deeper truth and a soul vision of pure bliss consciousness - an eternal

The place given to the animal in a society reveals how the people of that society want to live in the world. Animal experimentation, anti-specism or bullfighting are the subjects of complex debates for the definition of man as a species and as a gifted race. In this third volume of Cosmos, Michel Onfray tackles the profound philosophical stakes that our approach of the animal kingdom poses, and in particular of animals' suffering. In a civilization where the physical and moral pain of earth has been played by Christianity as both ineluctable and holy, Michel Onfray's work of reflection and outpouring has been liberated to reestablish himself within the dynamics of life in a harmonious cosmos.
