Album Notes & Community Reviews

A dense, incredibly intricate rock opera charting the metaphysical journey of a man navigating through his past lives while in a coma. The North Carolina quintet dials back their signature metalcore brutality significantly, favoring expansive, Queen-inspired vocal harmonies and theatrical 1970s progressive rock instrumentation. It stands as the most overtly theatrical and highly melodic entry in their storied discography.
