Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third and final album from Alf Svensson's incredibly eccentric solo project following his departure from At The Gates. The record is a bizarre, highly technical science fiction concept album that violently splices progressive death metal riffing with cinematic synthesizers, female operatic vocals, and wildly unpredictable avant-garde song structures.
