A poetic journey through the cosmos of human emotion, this album explores the chaos within and without — tracing one soul’s path from shadow to collapse, from self-reflection to elemental rebirth. Each song is a chapter in an existential myth, where natural disasters mirror internal cataclysms, and the smallest drop of water carries the weight of life’s brevity.

Beginning in darkness with The Shadow and rising through apocalyptic imagery (When the Sky Caved In), fractured identity (The Other Me), and the rot of humanity (Cancer), the record moves like a storm — tribal, cinematic, and raw — until it bursts into light in the final moments of Big Bang, where chaos becomes creation.

It’s not just music — it’s a universe collapsing, healing, and being born again.

Ashes in bloom
