Description/Reviews:

Proggy and crazy, the Dream Theater and Haken influences are evident in this song. As for the album, is it a concept album that tells the story of a magician that questions his entire life’s work. He’s spent his entire life devoting himself to his craft and now he questions if it was worth it. Musically the album goes through many stages as the character does on this journey of himself. There are songs that are angry, songs that are confused, songs that are depressed, and everywhere in between.

Description/Reviews: 

We start with “Thalia,” one of many great moments on Theogony. A dissonant chord fades in and introduces the first riff… a massive, pounding, intensely atonal chord progression that really digs into your core. Chandler Mogel‘s vocals, while guttural and raging as it later displays, are also very cold and bone chilling. The sheets of guitar distortion offer a very vivid backdrop of the same effectively hollow atmosphere that haunts this album’s duration.
