In 2009 Former Guitarist Fureïss Who Is Running The Rosenkrantz Studio Stated "Contrary To Certain Rumours Which Appear Periodically On The Net The Album « Apparitia Sumptous Spectre » Was Recorded And Mixed In 2002 Then Remixed In 2005 EXCLUSIVELY In The Rosenkrantz Studio By Fureiss. The Whole Project Was A Still Born Disaster Destined To Be Buried With Complete Indifference By A Discerning Listening Public. I Worked For 8 Years With Celestia In An Effort To Promote Their Music. Why Then Does A Member Of The Band Want To Make Out That He Is The Only Musicien And Composer In The Band?"
