Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a dense, atmospheric concept album, 'Brave' revolves around the fictionalized story of an amnesiac girl found wandering the Severn Bridge. The project saw the band moving away from traditional neo-progressive structures toward more textural, darkly cinematic arrangements, marking a creative rebirth during the Steve Hogarth era.
