Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio outing from the Norwegian art rock ensemble embraces a polished, deeply atmospheric sound highly reminiscent of Marillion, whose guitarist Steve Rothery contributed solos to the project. The recording relies on lush keyboard layers, emotive violin passages, and Jan-Henrik Ohme's melancholic vocal phrasing to craft expansive, cinematic rock.
