The first full length and the follow up to the band’s 2021 EP, ‘Dimensons Adrift, ‘The Endless Sky’ is a progressive, eccentric, ballsy and sometimes even sexy 9-track adventure through a sonic soundscape enhanced by the addition of Mark Marin on synths/piano.
This album also incorporates clean vocals and lighter parts to break up the carnage of shattering breakdowns and meticulous riffage.
There is a sort of Sci-Fi/Spiritual influence to the lyrics, resulting in an album written more like a story.
“The album centralizes around the idea that our reality and universe is a simulated experience wherein reincarnation occurs. Souls create viable energy for a self perpetuating mechanism in another dimension. This machine is the creator of our existence. As souls become older and live more and more lives, cracks begin to form and the simulation becomes unstable. The beginning track, ‘The Atlas Dream’, is our perceived notion of existence, what we experience as finite. Celestial is our spiritual bond to violence and suffering. A call from the machine to create more empowering souls to consume. Souls that suffer have more energy output, therefore the machine prefers suffering over peace. Reclaimed is our changing world, how we desperately hold onto our selfish need for acceptance and knowledge. Scripture is the visionary response of life’s coming end. The character or protagonist is perceiving the machine in a dream sequence as death approaches. Detached is the release from physical life and the journey to the eye, the place from which souls are consumed within an inch of complete death and then reincarnated. Misdirect is the collapse of the characters memories of his past life, directing towards rebirth and new existence. Disintegrate is the final exhaustion of light before rebirth.”
