Full Stop. Now From The Beginning. In 2003 The First Veritasaga Album Was Released "Punct Si De La Capat" "Full Stop. Now From The Beginning." . Despite The Fact That It Was An Independent Material And Sustained Only By A "listen And Pass It On"-Type Promotion The Album Generated An Impressive Buzz And Caught The Attention Of A Large Number Of People. Having Distinguished Itself Through An Unprecedented Sound - Meditative Sad And Melancholic Unusual For Hip-Hop - Veritasaga Quickly Claimed An Impressive Number Of Fans Setting Off A Real "stream" In The Romanian Underground.

One Of The Surprises And Controversies Of The Album Is The Presence Of Praetor Who Contrary To The Rumours Has Not Left The Group When He Left Romania. He Recorded In A Local Studio In Australia For "Cu Alti Ochi" Proving Once Again That Distance Is Nothing In The Way Of Passion! "I Gave Life To The Pages /
trying To Solve The Mistery Of The Ways /
of The One Above That Are Also Walked By The Ones Below / And Believe Me That There Is Nothing More Beautiful
than Letting Your Soul Speak.
This Is The Only Thing That I Still Believe In
after Four Years Of Foolish Work.
I Said Enough. I Leave You The Soil And A Flower
It's Only Your Fault If It Dies." Veritasaga Can't Be Heard It's Felt. !" read less
