Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from Dream Theater, the veteran vocalist delivers a surprisingly modern and heavy solo endeavor featuring keyboardist Matt Guillory and guitarist Marco Sfogli. The record noticeably embraces aggressive, drop-tuned alternative metal riffing and subtle electronic textures, departing from traditional progressive metal conventions.
