"Our first single from our upcoming studio album 'Otra' takes you on a melodic journey through hard battles with your own self", guitarist and keyboard player Kåre André Sletteberg explains. "All faith is lost and it is now a game between light and darkness. This is our shot at something musically a bit different than usual, but still attached to what In the Woods… have become and what our future will hold: something melodic, beautiful, and yet still heavy."

"Oresteia" is an intentional narrative and boasts Lotus Thief's most sophisticated production so far. A five-headed hydra of distinct personalities and stylistic backgrounds contributes to the record's depth and diversity like the masked actors in an ancient stage play. It is no wonder that with its strong dynamics and ambient intersections, the tracks mirror an experience not unlike attending a performance in an amphitheater.
