Album Notes & Community Reviews

This ambitious conceptual work follows the sci-fi narrative of a young man experimenting with time-travel drugs, eventually becoming trapped in the mid-14th century. The German ensemble heavily utilizes swirling keyboards and atmospheric, spaced-out rock instrumentation to soundtrack the complex, fantastical storyline.
