But Blooding Mask remains the top project and is still producing new music. Blooding Mask obtained excellent reviews from international magazines and featured in the publication Hex Files - The Gothic Bible of Mick Mercer see his page on Wikipedia here
The main characteristics of Blooding Mask are the lyrics in various languages, (Italian, English, Theban, Rumanian, Russian, German, Latin), some magic formulaes included in some of the tracks and most important the music were conceived in dreams. It seems like Maethelyiah can dream of Blooding Mask music, and records and performs them afterwards.
Another characteristic of the Blooding Mask sound is a study on the quarters of tunes experimented through the choral arias in some of the Blooding Mask tracks. Blooding Mask is now recognized for the unique style and remains an icon between the bands that forged the Gothic style in the nineties and that still produce music currently. see Gothic rock on Wikipedia here
