Home continues the trippy hippy festival of sounds.Who You Are starts with a very David Bowie Ziggy Stardust era sound slow and melodic then builds slowly very psychedelic at the end.Where Do We Go has excellent acoustic guitar with bass that moves in and then the drums it has the feel of some of the early Uriah Heep progressive stuff. One Hallucination Under God mixes King Crimson ELP and the Beatles in a strange and excellent sound.Sea Of Time builds slowly with acoustic guitar and very psychedelic vocals then some very excellent guitar work. Evolution ends the album with a Yes meets the Beatles song.

Galaxians lots of feedback then a bass that grabs you by the throat and an excellent guitar riff with a very strange sound is what this song is all about with lots of tempo changes.Red Lotus sci fi sounds shift into a heavy fast riff and rough vocals. Red Shift Demons more feedback then a slow plodding Sabbath sound that slowly grows and punches you in the face.Transmission lost in space and time then a riff from hell that plays till the end.

Absolution is just straight ahead in your face death metal that pounds you into the ground.Iron Grip continues the onslaught of fierce death metal that just continues to pummel you.Divided State Of Mind is a moshing fans favorite I bet the pit gets crazy. Morcar has a slower Sabbath style of bass intro and solid beat that continues thru the song.A Walk On Broken Bones is more of a mid-tempo crushing sound that kicks in and runs you over with its violence.Exodus starts with acoustic guitar then a wall of sound hits you like a tidal wave.Glaciers punches you in the face from the very first note.
