Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a major breakthrough in the European technical death metal scene, this sophomore album features intricate fretless bass work from Jeroen Paul Thesseling and highly complex, neoclassical compositional structures. The record's sci-fi concept is matched by virtuosic dual-guitar interplay that balances sheer extremity with genuine melodic sensibility. It solidified the German band as proper spiritual successors to the legendary act Death.
