Ashley Summers Flynn Just gorgeous music you can get lost in. Instantly likeable. Almost an unearthly beauty to it. :) Favorite track: Promethean.

DasWiesel3 This needs to be shared throughout the progressive world. It's simply awesome. Not too complex but it has a deep atmosphere. One of the best prog. releases in 2015. +awesome cleans Favorite track: Cross the Threshold.

Bruno Ouellet You guys are awesome! Vocals are excellent, you have a good balance between your cleans/screams. Guitar riffs are interesting too, not too technical, just enough to keep the listener for getting bored. Overall, you have some solid song structures and progressions. The saxophone caught my ears, it sounds so nice with this style of music! Clarity was a good choice as an EP closer. I just wish the production would have been a little better, but as a first recording, this is rock solid. Favorite track: Flux.

Sanctuary 08:07
Complete within my domain How could you begin to intrude This wild you try to claim Will be the end of you Why can't you see? Made to defend with my life I won't give up You are the threat I'll see to it that you are dealt with Born to protect this place And the beauty with in it Why aren't these times easier Vast monuments to men ablaze Who can predict What nightmare will come to surface next? Living on the edge I can't stand it I won't give up You are the threat I'll see to it that you are dealt with Born to protect this place And the beauty with in it This is it You've done it I'll be sure To walk on your grave I won't give up You are the threat I'll see to it that you are dealt with Born to protect this place And the beauty with in it

Promethean 06:48
In the end the gods will reign Bright rendition of lights Streak across the blank Bursting a world of potential into motion Guiding the Future Cycles of life begin Evolving the unexpected Coming from the origin Of miracle and possiblity Species come forth On hands and knees Learning to stand tall Progression of order comes with ease Civil with false needs False needs Aboslute Vanity Ever growing momentum Within our beliefs Superiorty over everything False needs
3.
Clairvoyant 06:58
Tidal waves of the great cleanse Approach with urgency Run! It is far to late we should have seen it Why have we disgraced the creators with such ease Forgetting who brought us being Living for nothing now We must reunite with the ground Our position was not rightful We clouded our minds For the sake of fear Fear in a superior entity how wrong we were to disregard All that came to be abusing the gifts given Granted for free Mongers on this sullen plain Waiting to conquer an equal Or to conquer one another Simpletons in wholest form yet we manage to stay greatly torn Absolute vanity In our false needs Now can you see How we have behaved
4.
Somewhere stranded beyond aiding reach I strive to gain knowledge once lost Placing all that's dear to me On the line In pursuit of salvation Chasing, chasing these mystery lights Forces begin to slowly untwine Leaving traces of the truth Buried underneath our feet How long would it have taken us To finally see That these answers given were deceit Is it as I fear Our path is so unclear Move around but still wholly bound Tied deep within their system Thrown into a maze Made to hinder the weak Why Nowhere to go We are left alone

Flux 06:23

Clarity 05:20
Walk into the fields of release Open your mind to whats not obvious Do you feel it now? Do you see it reaching out? Truth lies within the little things learn to feel passion for all Soon we will begin our journey to the other side Perfect the walk Between time In this home lies As clarity overcomes your mind
