Danza (re-recorded 2003 version)The cover artwork pays tribute to the death of Arria and Paetus, a dramatic episode from ancient Rome. Paetus, a prisoner after a failed revolt against Emperor Claudius, was urged by his wife Arria to take his own life rather than endure dishonor. When he hesitated, Arria demonstrated her resolve by stabbing herself, handing him the dagger with the words, "It does not hurt, Paetus." The artwork is based on François-André Vincent’s 1784 painting of the event.Panacea will be released on March 21, 2025, in a limited edition digipack CD via Rude Awakening Records and will also be available on all major streaming platforms.
