Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed as a formidable progressive rock supergroup featuring Fates Warning's Jim Matheos and former Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore, the debut heavily integrates cold, industrial electronics. The labyrinthine instrumentation is anchored by a distinctly cynical, politically charged lyrical focus on governmental media manipulation.
