Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning from an extended studio absence, the revered Hungarian progressive rock ensemble delivered this sweeping, highly ambitious concept album[cite: 1]. Based conceptually on the prophecies of Nostradamus, the largely instrumental record showcases their masterful command of complex symphonic prog, featuring elaborate flute and synthesizer interplay over intricate, uncommon time signatures[cite: 1].

Descriptors: progressive, suite, uncommon-time-signatures, technical, melodic, instrumental
