Album Notes & Community Reviews

Their first full-length effort following the departure of Mark Jansen, the Dutch ensemble delivers a highly ambitious, emotionally intense concept album concerning child abuse and family trauma. Floor Jansen's operatic vocals soar above aggressive progressive metal riffing and dense, highly theatrical symphonic orchestration.
