Thematic
The rotating axis on which themes are based, are reflections on the social implications of the phenomena that brings postmodernism, with consumerism as the main control mechanism and method of handling the current economic and political order, which they propose leads a systematic self-destruction of civilization. They also use topics such as technology, speed and obsession with human dormancy compared to the sharp decline of the race. On the other hand, the word fire, has the mystical connotations of eternity; representative of the natural force, which is taken into account to be reflected in the compositions. From a skeptic and rationalist nature, they don't speak of gods, demons, goblins, warriors, elves, fairies, or any kind of mythological figure. These approaches have similarities with those of thinkers like Arthur Schopenhauer, Jean Baudrillard, Paul Virilio, Karl Marx, among others.
