To reach into the darkest blackness. This blackness exists both inside and out of us. To journey to the darkest and most tortured realms inside and outside of our own soul. This album journeys the tale of the dark night of the soul in a classical symphony format, broken up into four movements. We will begin to see that in order to truly begin to see who and what we are, we must acknowledge the darkness within and let it destroy us.
