Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning from a lengthy hiatus with a reformed lineup featuring vocalist Arno Menses, the German progressive act delivers an intricate, continuous suite of music. The composition is divided into sequential parts that weave complex, odd-meter riffing with highly melodic, atmospheric rock structures, emphasizing emotional resonance over sheer technical shredding.
