Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a flamboyant, highly conceptual rock opera set in a dystopian, feudal England, 'The Worm' is a bombastic critique of capitalism and modern anxieties. The band employs massive theatrical arrangements, including choirs and full orchestration, to match the absurd, grandiose narrative of a giant worm swallowing the sun.
