ThallDarkAndHandsome Very progressive. Highly recommend for fans of poppy rock vocals on top of creative and heavy toned riffs with a dash of calm sections. Favorite track: Traffic.
GeN2Mo

GeN2Mo The look back on the more Alternative Metal roots produces more than interesting results. The dirtier, rockier grooves, extremely varied and rhythmic melodic vocals combine with a great variety of moody melodies and Progressive touches to create a sense of rampant dynamism and experimentation. Lending the album an extremely fresh and upbeat tone.
This might come a bit too out of left field for some but once it grips you, it definitely doesn't let off any soon. Favorite track: Against All Odds.

Beyond 04:39
her voice read to me "dream is destiny" trapped in a never ending stream of false awakenings am I asleep or have I become thoughts eternally [first time whispered - second time montone sung] information floweth into mind patterns tessellate in time taken from familiar states of be-ing I am thrust into an existence of decaying perceptivity the resulting consequences of which I have yet to appreciate but point to even deeper meaning and may be infinitely far reaching questions are self-answered in this passive interaction trapped in a never ending stream of false awakenings am I asleep or have I become thoughts eternally taking inventory of my faculties I flip the switch to test the environment i can still see i can still breathe but this reality bends at the seams 0characters degrade the settings fade the meanings escape profundity remains her voice read to me "dream is destiny"

Fallout 05:00
The warning sent Our efforts bent An element's Critical mass The greatest minds a grand design the sands of time turned into glass do that death dance put us in that holy trance the breaking of the universe is in our hands this is what we have become this is what we have done to ourselves we can blame no one else the goddess of destruction our salvation hallelujah when we saw the lights in the sky we said our goodbyes the splitting of a nucleus propelling us into eternity do that death dance put us in that holy trance the breaking of the universe is in our hands this is what we have become this is what we have done to ourselves we can blame no one else our future depending on narcissistic inventiveness when we saw the lights in the sky we said our goodbyes We all knew then we were all gonna die in BATTLE | in THE FOREST, | at the PRECIPice | in THE MOUNTAINS, ON THE | DARK GREAT SEA | , in the MIDST OF | javelins and arrows, IN SLEEP , in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him a man made sun is rising in the west bringing with it the flames of death we engineered the end to sleep safely in our beds when we saw the lights in the sky we said our goodbyes We all knew then we were all gonna die

Stampede 04:41
A hapless Marauder Flung into the vastness Left to brood alone Left without a home But with a power that no one had known Following magnetic trails Stellar winds upon his sails The weary tyrant flows With ancient tech in tow And all reports say he's destroying as he goes Stay awake! That one they lost is coming back! Welcome fate! This universe ain't so big after all Expect no fold Revenge is a dish best served cold Start running! There will be no stone left unturned. Keep running! There will be no world left unburned in his wake Stay awake! That one they lost is coming back! Welcome fate! This universe ain't so big after all Expect no fold Revenge is a dish best served cold

Unread Story 04:53
scribbling profane markings upon the page beneath the twilight we've become the authors of ourselves finding pleasure in the mundane we all fall down [befriend the ground] accepting imposition abandoning our mission to permanent submission the enemy of vision believing in a fiction ignoring composition a haphazard decision escaping definition rejecting admonition we lose our indivision beyond all recognition fulfilling premonitions falling into attrition refusing this remission while making no revisions the perfect contradiction avoiding a confession we sink into regression conform or seek secession instead of face aggression until we're left to question our imminent succession and buried in depression begin the great recession we were called-to greater paths sojourners in this world let go of life embrace the strife when did we become so useless? uniting with the transient and blindly thinking we're alive spending existence on the bland believing we're the ones who really know the purpose of this experience we may as well skip to the end resign ourselves to decadence and simply sit upon our hands awaiting an outcome we can't comprehend what good is it to have a resolution you can't understand? This tale is not done Open chapter one To the stars ascend Before it is too late to begin again

Traffic 04:56
She's on a dirt floor lying on her back tonight she's far away from everything she's ever known she doesn't get to speak for herself anymore her voice was silenced the moment they took her away but it's ok you're thousands of miles away safe and sound behind prevaricating walls you never gave a single dollar you only looked "that's nothing. point that finger at somebody else" for the first time we can be the ones to stop this lie maybe this time we'll fulfill our responsibility to make this die! keep on feeding the beast there's a special place reserved for those who seek the defilement of the innocent refusing them their liberty a place of retributing torment and consequence the likes of which even the sickest mind could never fathom when will we start fighting? when will we stop shelving the dignity of human beings? why don't we stop aligning ourselves with criminals? No one is forcing us to be accomplices. why don't you have some respect for yourself as well? No one is forcing you to be so dirty. will they ever get to see again the light of day? will their hopes ever come back the way they were before? will we ever stop preserving such sadistic ways? when will justice come to the children we should protect? for the first time we can be the ones to make this die finally. this heartless unrelenting depravity ends with us

Lyra 05:13
Harp.look upon these stars name them in your heart love them from afar Wait. ere you leave this cage prepare to be brave pain unknown awaits when traitors come to claim speak your father's name do not be ashamed Hold tightly to these dreams lay waste to these schemes stand in victory And the one you call friend faithfully defend make it to the end Harp.look upon these stars name them in your heart love them from afar

this concrete floor is weighing on our heads we're gonna be stuck like this until we're dead it's our choice it's our time to correct the arbitrary balance of constructed norm knock knock that's the hand of doom upon our door we can't simply be complacent with it anymore we are left we are left to the trivial devices that we never got to make ourselves don't speak don't even blink your eyes the freedom we believed we always had was all a lie cliche I know but look again and see the ruse we used to call our only hope open up the escape passage through oblivion we all live in a society of broken trust the enemies of our existence seek to supplant us we are at war we are at war with a system and a substance that's invisible but oh so clear this time we are running out of their tenacious sight crawl through the tunnel and penetrate beyond the threshold Finding an exit we puncture the veil of time Revealing a new point of view Seeing our lives stretched before us as infiniums Of avenues we have yet to take A cosmic eviction (repeated) exiled by our dissident convictions A cosmic eviction exiled by our dissident convictions Never before had we known we possessed such strength Navigating the ethereal complex of the realm We see a glimpse of a future hanging like a bell The waves of it's ringing spread across the stars, tearing them apart We live in peace In peace we die... Finding an entrance we pull ourselves through to see The pinnacle of the world we knew And placed upon the seat with the skyline view. No one. Nothing. We have been deceived. It has become our comission To remove this institution burn it to the ground forever Adventure is what we're made for In this instant We can breathe the Air of freedom Long forgotten In this instant We can breathe the Air of freedom Long forgotten Open up our lungs receive it turn our backs and live Can you hear a strange ringing in your ears?

Spiegel 04:15
Madness seeps into the space between my ears Rousing dead thoughts that have been lost to the years Memories find a way to kill you, in the end If you can't find a way to simply let them go Darkness leaks into the recesses of my mind Every time these mistakes resurface in my sight I hate the things that I have done. Wasting so much time on the useless and vain But these histories no longer need to be sources of pain Break this cycle Let this dissonance be nullified I can make this right just Forgive the past, let it die Who I was is not who I am But it is too late for me light is low as tensions grow down below we find no hold we're falling into despair Teach us how to stop this Psychotic activity We don't need this constant Conjuring of misery Who we were is not who we are But it is too late for us

Synnecrosis 05:46
curse the morning after dawn of mankind's end As the sun falls faster our existence blends as a toxic wind sweeps across this desert earth there walks a new form of sentience bent upon ending us we are not the only ones unrecognizable indistinguishable unforgivable we are them mass bio disaster kills what hope we had chaos our new master I must return to them The days that followed were short with frequent nights concealing death My determination driving me to reunite with the ones I love I watched these creatures overtake then kill all living things only to die themselves Upon my arrival, I opened the front door... when I saw the look in her eyes I knew I had been too late To my horror, she opened her lovely mouth and spoke "Welcome home. We are not alone." just then reality resumed all I had was gone come join with this flesh mutual death surrendered breath all things must end

Crimson Air 04:38
casting aside the days of peace we open up the gates of misery to pull ourselves out of this tyranny time to take back our stolen dignity we're coming up from underneath the blackened iron feet of royalty **rebuke them for their vanity and place ourselves upon that mighty* seat take up arms it's time to show these bandits who we are make them starve our blades are sustenance enough for insatiable guts let them not be fooled in thinking they can rule we'll see just how far they can go before they finally start to know our reasons were not in vain our aim was to constrain that hideous monstrosity who's terror is his reign we must have missed the signs our hatred boiled out should we have taken it this far? we had no other choice. our battle focus breaks the earth begins to quake the creature rises up from ancient slumber wakes now let´s inhale this burning air breath beckoning flames upon the horizon the silhouette is death (EVAN) this moment will lapse into nothing and i will become part of infinity this breathe will consume me as fire becomes me there is no end in sight now let my ashes rise

about

Combining modern prog metal / djent with old school heavy metal / grunge, in this album I´m trying to find my roots while pushing forward. In writing and production, I tried my hardest to take the best of both worlds and fuse them together.

Defined roaring djenty tones that are at the same time dirty and smudgy. Precisely mixed drums that still have some slack and edge. A bass building a defined low end basis while sounding like a roaring monster.

If I succeed in my endeavors or not is hard for me to tell. But what I do know is this album was a lot of fun to make and working with my new vocalist Brian Wright was a blast. I hope you enjoy this latest ForTiorI creation as much as we do.
