    The 4th album from the mysterious Prussian darkfolk group Romowe Rikoito is a magic journey to the modern Western Baltic world, the Aestian archipelago that is invisible on the surface, but continues to live and breathe in the reality of the present. The spiritual expedition of Undēina begins in the sacred Sambia Peninsula and follows the winding roads of the Kriwes through the temples and capitals of the ancient faith accompanied by the deepest Baltic archetypes, washed by the rivers and seas, and surrounded by the sands of the rhythmical time and the eternity of the constellations.
    The twelve compositions of the album denote personal experiences on the sites dating back to the most prominent Prussian priests of the 16th century, Waltīn, Suplīt and Merūn. Undēina carries the symbols and the secrets of their memory through the chthonic maps of Aīsta from Klaipėda, Juodkrantė and Kretinga to Königsberg, Gdańsk, Allenstein, Rominta and Varėna...
    All the sounds in the album have been authentically experienced and gathered during trips to the forests, riverbanks, places of worship, abandoned forts and other sites.
    The fourth album from Romowe Rikoito has more layers as compared to the previous records. The album begins with a ritualistic and ethnic atmosphere which is then gradually replaced by the dark folk aesthetics. The music was recorded using only acoustic sources – guitars, violins, piano, percussion, kanklės, whistles, etc.
    Most of the texts in "Undēina" are performed in the (un)forgotten and reborn Prussian language. Accompanied by waves of melancholy, the sound of the ancient language offers an exclusively intense Baltic experience that cannot be described and perceived though scientific terms alone.
    "Undēina" CD is presented in an exclusively cut digipack case and features expressive visual art as well as a 28 page booklet full of Prussian mythology symbols, rare pictures, and lyrics in Prussian and English.
