Description/Reviews: 

The title Inwards depicts not only the overall expression of the music and the process leading to its creation, but also an underlying theme in the lyrics. A common theme wasn’t as much intentional as it was a result of shared feelings and experiences. The album’s narrative tells a story of the protagonist struggling with his visions and seeking ways to mend his shattered thoughts to ultimately find safety. The story encompasses several differing perspectives.

Description/Reviews: 

A base of hard rock, infused with a mix of folk, early prog and psychadelia significantly marks the album. These influences are very clear in the songs. Titles like Misty High, Strawberry Skies and Reborn Identity really show these influences and also the lyrics are Hippie-like themes with a hint of dark humor.
