III Sides to Every Story

A sprawling three-act concept album blending aggressive funk-metal, intimate piano ballads, and a massive orchestral finale recorded at Abbey Road.

It's what happens when a funk-metal band decides to write a three-act rock opera at Abbey Road.

A grand, intellectually curious journey from outward social aggression to inward spiritual reflection.
