After the very well received debut album "Eastward", Stronghold Guardian delivers second release. "By the Stars and the Moon" EP continues the medieval black synth style influenced by Summoning and is stylistically building upon its predecessor.

The hermit is travelling alone through the deep forest, only aided by the silvery moonlight and the distant sound of the night birds that soothes his soul. He seems lost in the dense woods amidst the ancient shadows...The old road goes on and the path is clear, yet his mind falls to doubt. But the Stars and the Moon guide his way, and his destiny is forged through the mythical Night.
