We knew we wanted a step up in every department from Laws of Motion, our debut album released on Lion a few years ago, so a lot of work went into making sure the tracks met every requirement whilst trying to keep our signature sound. Building from the reviews and comments we received with from Laws, we wanted to keep the strong riffs and big choruses but focusing a lot more on vocal melodies, adding depth and vocal layers, while keeping technical elements that prog fans always love. We also knew we had to get better production and cleaner more powerful sound….and we got exactly that thanks to DGM’s mastermind Simone Mularoni and the team at Domination Studios. The artwork helped inspire the main lyrical themes of the album which step away from the darkness of the debut and tend to focus on the future of civilisation, culture and society repeating the mistakes of the past. We drew inspiration from the work of some of our favourite authors like McCarthy and China Miéville to create an album with a common theme but it is not a concept album.
