Album Notes & Community Reviews

The ambitious debut album from the New England-based instrumental quartet is a cinematic and epic work of modern progressive metal. 'A Dream In Static' is defined by its grand, orchestral arrangements and its star-studded cast of guest vocalists, including Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust) and Daniel Tompkins (Tesseract), who each lend their voice to a single track. It's a powerful and meticulously crafted album that blends heavy, technical metal with the emotional sweep of a film score.
