”We wanted to show the world that there is a way out, that something good is always waiting for us at the end of every path we choose. All we need is to learn to love ourselves a little more each day,” says Juan Pablo Calvo, the band’s keyboardist, rhythm guitarist, and producer.

Musically, the band explores a more modern side of progressive metal while staying true to their signature melodic style and storytelling. ”We didn’t want to sound like a mathematical equation, but we did want to incorporate some of those elements into this album,” says Calvo. ”There are lots of electronic textures, driving grooves, layered instrumentation, and rich vocal harmonies. This is our heaviest record to date, but also our most vulnerable.”

To close the album on a powerful note, the band assembled a choir of about 25 fellow singers-including friends, family, and members of other bands, for the song “Forgiveness,” emphasizing the themes of inclusion and togetherness.
