“Psychic Death,” is a fascinating song, and an interesting way to kick of the album. It is haunting and stretches the time scope considerably, working through the mind before embarking on a sonic overture.
“Opulent Decay,” is simply epic. With vocals that bring memories of Black Sabbath and a guitar tone and rhythm that smacks of the best of heavy metal.
“Sibyl Vane,” swoons and croons into being and slowly and surely unleashes chaos.
“Primrose Path,” is psychedelic in the extreme, taking turns to shift and grow into something menacing.
“The Iron Wind,” unleashes the world and delivers something concrete and fascinating for all to see.
“Dawn Wanderer,” changes the game ever so slightly. Going from melancholic to hopeful and back again, with a single change.
“Deceiver,” brings the elemental to life, and shines through, with some fascinating changes and shifts of feeling and momentum.
“Ataraxia,” is filled with burning passion and growth. It shifts through the scope and harmonises into the world.
“Imprisoned by Shadows,” is old school and all the better for it.
“Saturn’s Riddle,” finishes things off quite nicely.
The album is out on 20th March via Bad Omen Records.
