This progressive journey is immersed in melodic and deeply conceptual Metal unrestricted by the confines of any singular genre. Predominantly melodic singing is highlighted with extreme Metal vocals and clean vocal passages, backed by euphonious yet heavy guitar rhythms which breathe with acoustic segments, all interspersed amongst monster Metal riffs.
