ABOUT "STILLBORN HOPE - VOL I":
"Stillborn Hope Vol I" is the first part of an ambitious new trilogy from Ozul, serving as a prequel to the acclaimed 2024 album, "Man on the Shore."
It is a dark, cinematic, and sonically nuanced journey that tells the story of the protagonist's life before the final tragedy, exploring the origins of his struggle through a blend of atmospheric acoustic textures and emotionally dense progressive rock.
The album is a complete, self-contained artistic statement, produced, mixed, and mastered by Paulo Chavarría. It is a testament to the project's singular, uncompromised artistic vision.
