And finally the closing song of the album, the title track. Written back in 2018/2019 it is a condemnation of willful ignorance; it is an anthem for the continuous pursuit of knowledge.

Closing in on the end of the album the penultimate track, Approaching Collapse, is a #progressivemetal instrumental entirely in 11/8. It is just as much a mathematical puzzle as it is a musical piece. It was challenging but also satisfying to complete.

This song shows some of the Greek Folk roots and deals with the historical event by the same name. The women of Souli danced, sang and committed ritual suicide to escape a life in captivity.

Next up is the most personal song on the record.

It is a 10 minute progressive metal piece, with changing tempos, time signatures, and keys, inspired by my father's alcohol abuse and resulting dementia.

Part 2 of the aforementioned duo.

This song takes a poem by Helen Mar Kimball written in 1881 and sets it to a folk inspired acoustic piece.

The next two songs build a thematic unit.

The first deals with the LDS Church, its vast influence, corruption and hypocrisy.

The pain that many ex-members went through and hearing their stories inspired this track.

Outro: Ska ☑️

Quoting Hesiod's Theogony, this song looks at a person to whom the gods revealed the truth of creation.
The wild combination of genres works surprisingly well.

Continuing the topic of taking clear stances this song is against racism, sexism, homo- and transphobia.
It is condemning the widespread hate, which has spiraled completely out of control these last few years.

Or in simpler words:
Fuck Bigotry

Next up, the second track of the debut.

Sociopolitical commentary can be done in subtle ways, but sometimes it is necessary to be blunt and take clear sides. Written back in 2019, this song criticizes the modern GOP and things have only gotten worse since then.

Let's take a look at individual songs.

Ashes And Regret is the opening track of the debut album. A rather straightforward heavy metal song about how even one mistake can have dramatic effects and change one's life.

While work on the new album is steadily coming along, it will take some more time, so let's take a look back at the debut.

Fault-Line Audio made another react to one of our songs!

This time it's the track Approaching Collapse, an instrumental in 11/8.
