Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially founded as a Pink Floyd cover band, the German progressive outfit fully realizes their own ambitious vision on this sprawling concept album. Thematicially inspired by Nietzsche's philosophical treatise 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', the recording is incredibly dense with sweeping, Floydian synthesizer atmospheres, intricate guitar solos, and highly theatrical vocal arrangements. It was widely acclaimed as their most conceptually cohesive and melodically triumphant release within the modern Neo-Prog movement.
