Album Notes & Community Reviews

Created by Dutch multi-instrumentalist Arjen Anthony Lucassen, this singular project shifts away from his typical sci-fi rock operas to explore deeply introspective, psychological themes. Featuring lead vocals by Jasper Steverlinck and spoken-word audio messages submitted by fans, the atmospheric, lengthy tracks merge heavy progressive metal riffing with melancholic acoustic passages. It stands as one of Lucassen's darkest and most emotionally grounded works.
