Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving less as a traditional metal album and more as a companion piece to Jon Schaffer's extensive narrative lore, this release completely eschews the band's thrash origins. The project consists entirely of spoken-word monologues layered over dark, symphonic orchestrations, aiming to expand upon the complex sci-fi and fantasy concepts that govern the band's discography.
