Central to Alitheias foundation are guitarist Raul Valentine and bassist Ricardo Diaz-Albertini. Involved in two previous projects (Savannah Fuma and Below 7), their present sound-philosophy evolves out of intense self-scrutiny.

"And thus, Alitheia embraces Love & Shadow.
Realizing The Aquiem is but Change's whim." |
