The band have upped both the dystopic prog-Death quotient and their sense of experimentation, moving with formidable, mechanised poise and a surrealist's sense of dread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLYCHGATE layer fusion riffs, leads and rhythms into skewed melodic entanglements which erupt into strident bludgeon - balefully contrasted with spacious, keyboard-led, classical\/jazz-inflected passages rich with tension-heavy dynamics.

M. Forster's \"The Machine Stops\" (1909) - a story of humanity’s underground existence and total dependence on a god-like machine - and also draws from Plato's 'allegory of the cave', H. G. Wells' \"A Story of the Days to Come\", and T. S. Eliot's \"The Waste Land\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD in a 4-panel digipack with a 12-page booklet.
