Background

On the album's overall basic concept, vocalist Adam Warren stated: "All of the songs are the recollections of a separate being as he travels through a portal of alternate timelines[...]Each track is another revelation that he’s viewed. The Ascendants have been watching society grow and lightly influencing it but allowing humans free will for the most part. In turn, what they’ve seen is humanity basically deplete the planet to a near state of destruction". [3]
