Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the melodic, heavily orchestrated counterpart to 'Anthropocentric', this ambitious concept album critiques the history of religion and the Catholic Church's reaction to the heliocentric worldview. The German collective incorporates significant amounts of clean singing, piano interludes, and sweeping string sections, expanding their post-metal foundation into deeply progressive territory.
