About "Dawn of the Cataclysm" - From the Artist:
"Despite what some might think, the album title "Dawn of the Cataclysm" originated in 2019, before the pandemic started. Topics such as climate change, plastic pollution, war, corruption, and
artificial intelligence were inspirations for the album concept as a whole."

"This album was produced similar to the way a movie is made. There were various performances recorded for each part, sometimes with more than one musician. Then each song is meticulously edited together with special attention placed on creating an organic feel to the music." Hear the album's lead single "Know End Insight" on Spotify.
