Album Notes & Community Reviews

A collaborative studio project orchestrated by Arjen Anthony Lucassen, featuring the remarkably mature vocals of a then-teenage Astrid van der Veen. The album reworks progressive metal instrumentals into incredibly lush, atmospheric electronic rock, driven by sweeping dream pop melodies and a cold, lonely mood.
