The disc, the follow-up to 2006's The Scattering of Ashes, is the band's first full-fledged concept record and was inspired by the deaths of guitarist Tim Roth's two best friends, brothers who succumbed to cancer within two months of one another. Then, soon after Into Eternity started demoing material for the record, Roth's father was diagnosed with cancer as well; he died last year, 10 days before Christmas.
Roth channeled his emotions into a moving and riveting album with heavy grooves, stop-on-a-dime time changes, reflective lyrics, memorable choruses, shredding solos, and vocals that range from guttural growls to soaring harmonies.
