Thanks for checking it out ! Too stoked to have been able to play drums on this! :D

I’ve had this for about 3 months now and it’s simply the most addictive and exhilarating album I’ve heard in a long time. Every aspect of the sound is top tier - the songs themselves, the production, the musicianship, the performances. I can’t stop listening to this and I listen to a lot of music. It’s so damn good that I had to immediately buy their t-shirt to proudly advertise this amazing music!

1st track and I'm already sold. It has everything I wanted on a prog band. Tight rhythm, proggy riffs and solo (reminds me of Guthrie), moog/synths, great clean vocals, jazzy instruments, choirs and strings.

Am I the only one hearing “Pink Floyd metal”? Good stuff

Best 2023 release along with Ne Obliviscaris, Gorod and Amun, imo 🤘😎🤘🤘

They know their job at Willowtip. What an impressive debut. Unbelivable. 👏

¿Someone Listening?: To sacrifice my life Is what I choose to do Without a second thought In my eyes lies the truth It's what I do All for you It's all for you I do it for you How long can we last without each other? It's all I think about The need to heal the world now is more powerful than to burn it down Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace stay on the moon to rest in peace They know that there is no hope for their recovery But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice Calling, calling home Is there someone listening? Calling, calling home Is there someone listening? In the ancient days Man looked to the stars in search of hope Now in modern times all we see is darkness We don't know who we are anymore Still we look to the stars Still we look to the stars These men who lay down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: The search for truth and understanding They will be mourned by Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the far reaches of the unknown Calling, calling home Is there someone listening? Calling, calling home Is there someone listening? Someone? Is there anybody listening? Anyone? I'm calling out to you I believe in the search for truth I believe we can find balance, yeah I believe we can stop the feud I believe we can light our way I believe we can break the noose I believe we can make amends I believe we can all conclude that the healing must start today Is there someone listening?

This band's guitarist has to be a Guthrie Govan fan

Wow so many cool sounds. WITH successful integration of a saxophone. I haven't come across that yet. Wonderful voices and sounds that convey such a sad message. Like talking about something sad after it's happened. Well done

Absolutely interesting, perfect mix styles, good taste! Very refreshing! Thanks guys!

SUPERB! ♥️🤘🏼🕺

just wow

This is pretty dope.

Going googly for that sax action. Lovely album

Once in a while effortless visionaries appear to show me once again how music affects me as a person grateful to randomly stumble upon this album it really hits the spot for me right now and it's hard to let go but we do recover!much love from athens greece!

First time hearing this album I thought it reminded me a little bit of Arsena, (mainly vocals). I have to say that this album is pure brilliance. A metal paradise masterpiece. It's like a fusion of Jazz, Metal, Prog and pop but somehow these guys make it all work. Not only is it working but it sounds amazing and because the songs are so complex I could listen to this on repeat for a very longtime and never get tired of it. Looking forward to seeing how they top this.

Wow ❤

What a fascinating album. The first two songs alone are what has always made me geek out for prog. There are so many emotions and moods embedded in this. I am not a music person by any means so go on more how an album makes me feel. The instrumentation is just so, I'd say interesting, but it runs deeper than that. Thank you all for sharing this vision.

Excellent this is real music Ozric tentacles and king crimson meet opeth
