Description/Reviews:
A shadowy, brooding record with measured amounts of aggression and intellectuality, “The Continuum” will deeply slake the thirst of a wide variety of music fans. Its blend of pianos, violins, pounding drums, chugging electric guitars and digital instrumentation is precisely orchestrated and masterfully produced, with a result that challenges the listener to thrill, to imagine and to reflect.
The Continuum is a concept album that focuses on a ‘sleeper’s’ experience of a nightmarish world where his darkness within haunts him. There is an underlying theme of hope centered around a shining light seen within this world. The sleeper is drawn closer to the light with the hope that once he reaches it, he will awaken.
Tolar cites as main artistic influences Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Pineapple Thief and Blackfield, all of whom would make fine sonic pairings with music from “The Continuum.”
