Democracy

Tribal rhythms and shimmering metallic guitars collide with 90s alternative rock. A cynical yet spiritual autopsy of modern democracy and corporate fatigue.

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you're fed up with the news but still want a massive guitar hook.

A potent blend of righteous political anger and expansive, ritualistic beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The massive, soaring chorus of the title track where the guitar seems to expand to fill the entire stereo field.

The hypnotic, eight-minute psychedelic drift of Aeon that showcases the band's more spiritual and expansive side.

The biting, sarcastic delivery of the line 'McDonald's goes eco-friendly' over a driving, tribal drum beat.
