Album Notes & Community Reviews

The English quintet, featuring former Marillion drummer Mick Pointer, delivers a concept-heavy suite structured around narratives of Victorian-era illusion and tragedy. Anchored by Rob Sowden's theatrical vocal delivery, the release pairs the band's traditional symphonic neo-prog flourishes with noticeably heavier, metallic guitar riffs.
