Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the tragic deaths of longtime members Sean Reinert and Sean Malone in 2020, Paul Masvidal pushed forward to release the legendary progressive metal band's fourth studio album. Featuring dense synthesizer interludes between deeply complex, vocoder-heavy metal tracks, the highly spiritual record serves as an ethereal, space-rock-infused tribute to his fallen bandmates. It acts as a profound meditation on grief and cosmic transcendence.
