What in god's name is this? WOW, a band actually taking risks and experimenting. Sounds like Ayreon meets Amorphis meets Dream Theater meets Belakor. Love it! Good work guys, this is simply incredible!

I love these clean vocals!

Excellent album, at least as good as the debut if not bettter, with great production, and the ending song Withdrawal is simply epic
