The Swedish progressive metal outfit's sophomore album is a sprawling concept record addressing heavy themes of global environmental destruction, the arms industry, and personal responsibility. Mastermind Daniel Gildenlöw's highly complex, dynamic songwriting and soaring vocal performances firmly established the band as intellectual heavyweights within the European prog scene.
