Gerald explains the album in his own words:

«It is a story being told through melodies and rhythms. I express these mainly through the piano and synth lead sounds and also heavy synth bass lines. Like in a symphony, melodies and themes are recurring. The album starts with epic and heavy prog, gets a bit more calm and gentle in the middle, and then gets more up-tempo towards the end, in the big finale it gets epic and heavy prog again».

Compared to Part 1, the second part has more sound design, more production and sounds fuller. The ambient aura is reminiscent of epic futuristic battles, with many layers that will tantalize a wide variety of fans. Gerald, who enjoys improvising on the piano, writes all the music and then passes it to Aaron Thier who adds his own style to the drum parts.

A cinematic jaunt, full of complexity and energy awaits those curious enough to dive into this fantastic release. Fans of Dream Theater, Hans Zimmer, and Tigran Hamasyan should take special note.
