This album is a composite of rock, pop, and edm influences. It traces a journey through a series of timultuous relationships during a period of my life when my views and values were in a state of flux. The album features a cover of Billy Idol's Rebel Yell and Scream of the Butterfly by Acid Bath, and also contains elements from Afroman and the movie Valhalla Rising.

This work was recorded with FL studio, a Yamaha DJX2 Keyboard, a four-string ESP LTD bass guitar, an Akai MPK Mini midi controller, and a Tonor microphone. It is meant to be hobbycraft. I hope you love it, and I look forward to making the next one!

Talthielle is the last of the Epozia, the servant of the seasons with the power to conscript the souls of mortals and force them to relive the most critical moments in their lives until they get it right. His objective is to recruit the best of Omnia's lores and appeal to Lavaris, the lord of the departed, and persuade him to open his gates and release the dead, so that the living may remember their past.
