Description/Reviews
In this opus, the band explores the human psyche, its torments and the means of coping with them. The tracks follow the circumvolutions of human soul, exploring willingful submission, authoritarianarism, fantasy, resignation and abandon.
The music is a blend of hard rock and progressive rock, with a twist of heavy metal, resulting in a more personnal and accomplished album. The keyboards enhance the personnality of the tracks, growing them into landscapes that can be dark and gloomy or dreamy and epic. Backing vocals are used to add a more human element to the ensemble.
As the final track closes, one finds oneself wanting to start the album all over again to discover and appreciate more of its nuances.

Description/Reviews
Amongst their main influences are Symphony X, Queen, Dream Theater and Deep Purple, but they take pride in building their own musical identity, which ranges from psychedelic and relaxing moments to sections of catchy heavy-prog. Exploring many changes in time signature and arrangement, the band strives to present different moods within single tracks while preserving its substance beyond the soulessness of mere technical exhibition.
