Synopsis

Album Description
This ever-shifting progressive material is a blend of old school and current cutting edge. Somehow, it manages to cover a wide array of different genres, while maintaining its own identity. People hear a surprisingly diverse number of influences in it, yet they are most struck by its individuality.
Each song is different from the others. Each is unique, unexpected, now hard, now soft, and guitar driven. The focus is on the atmospheres and textures created within each piece. Some are dark edged and tinted with mystery. Every song it its own adventure, its own audio landscape. The sound is often both atmospheric and heavy at the same time. While densely complex and layered, it all makes perfect sense to the ear. All of the songs portray both purpose and intent. They are musically emotional and dynamic.
All four members fade in and out of the lead role. While there are many tempo and time signature changes, they never give the impression that they were done simply because the artists are capable of it. Instead, they are done only when they will add intensity or embellish the overall feeling of the song.
This is a concept album with deep lyrical content. Even though each song is very different from the others, there is a complete story being told. Lyrical examination may provide a look into the times we live in and a self revelation, ending in a ray of light.
Not just a debut CD, but a debut sound. This is a true Variant.
