The band hopes to use the power of music to help the world recover.

"It is an extreme variety of the form we get here, and one that at the core level is defined by seamless transitions between extreme metal, thrash metal and power metal. But in between we also get quirkier parts more aligned with progressive metal, and more interestingly from a progressive point of view we also get a liberal array of acoustic and semi-acoustic passages and interludes with a more delicate and atmospheric laden style, form and orientation. The vocals come with the same amount of versatility, with harsh and melodic lead vocals being the main forms used. A production to seek out by those with an interest in a powerful and vibrant variety of extreme progressive metal expanded with a liberal array of delicate and atmospheric laden interludes." - Progressor
"Progressive metal, with a bit of a tech death thing going on. clean and harsh vox. cool stuff" - WORT 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)
"The nine songs present some real diversity in the genre by embracing several different approaches" - Metal Temple
