The Germans' fourth release turned out to be a true concept album with
countless narrative segments and interludes in between songs that each
represent "a memory implanted into the mind of our female protagonist
Nihlai, a replicant within the Blade Runner universe," drummer and singer
Vinz Clortho explains. "We tell a classical story set to music and meant to
be a unified piece of work."
Besides a whole bunch of familiarly stoical stompers such as the opening
title track, a rabble-rousing anthem if there ever was one, the surprisingly
agile 'Shoulder of Orion' with its uplifting instrumental section, Manowaresque
bass and choir textures, or the sprightly, cowbell-propelled rocker
'Between Despair and Ecstasy' stand testament to musicians who, by now
at the latest, have come into their own.
