An Arc Over Time

2011 was the year of Nomen Est Omen’s tenth consecutive participation to the festival “Transylvanian Fortresses”, Sibiu. Scheduled, by tradition, in the last weekend of August, the medieval gathering makes our band to associate the end of the summer with the presence in the beautiful gothic city on the Cibin river. To find again and again, in the same season, the Grand Square, the Evangelical Lutheran Cathedral or the Liar’s Bridge, gives you a keen feeling of time jump. “The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older”. We promised ourselves to take a picture in 2012, in the same relative position we took a year ago, in front of the northern side of the Lutheran Cathedral, dressed with the same costumes. That is, if destiny has not already decided that we will skip Sibiu next year. As an old saying says – the devil laughs when the man makes plans.
