After "The Golden Path", Baptiste Pagani returns with an album at the crossroads of Conan the Barbarian, Mad Max and manga culture.
A universe at the frontier of genres, mixing clans and nomadic communities attacking trains in the middle of wild Asian lands.
Publicity
It is an album divided into three chapters: war, dance and faith, which reflect the states of mind of the three main characters united by family ties which will be severely tested.
Between action scenes and spirituality, between androgynous dances and warlike choreographies, between train attacks and poetic dreamlikeism, Baptiste Pagani takes us on a flamboyant ride populated by colorful characters and sets, which happily plays with the codes of pop cultures. urban, comics and manga / anime.
