Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as the heavy, chaotic counterpart to its simultaneously released sister album, 'Deconstruction' is a meticulously over-the-top exploration of existential philosophy and musical maximalism. Featuring a massive choir, a full orchestra, and numerous guest vocalists from the metal community, the record scrutinizes the nature of reality through a lens of absurd humor.
