I actually purchased their second album first which came across to me as more of a heavy Neo-Prog style of music but i liked it enough to check out this their debut. I'm glad i did because this is a step up in my opinion. These guys are from The Netherlands and they contrast well those dark, atmospheric pieces with the heavy sections. Many bring up bands like ANATHEMA and PORCUPINE TREE as comparisons because of this. I thought this concept album was about the future as in a Science Fiction work but apparently it's about one's spiritual journey which still surprises me when i hear the samples and the narration that often pops up. There's not a lot of Metal in this recording but if your into a good concept album that will take you places in your mind then check it out.
