Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a direct narrative sequel to their 1998 conceptual masterwork 'Tyranny', the Pennsylvania quintet delivers another expansive suite of progressive metal storytelling. Exploring themes of political conspiracy and philosophical conflict, the incredibly dense compositions highlight virtuosic keyboard passages, sweeping vocal harmonies, and dizzying guitar solos.
