With heavily interwoven melodies and lyrics that address topics that don’t usually surface in popular music, “Reliquary” is an eclectic album of songs with a lot of the hallmarks of progressive rock – such as exotic modalities and composite meters – but it is music that eschews extended song structures in favor of a more concise compositional approach.
Tracks:
1. Ultima Forsan – “Quiet gears are turning, tick the moments away…”
2. Harlequin Domino – “…hammered cold, tempering without pain in the crucible of dreams”
3. Sojourner – “Marching on, cruel rebirth, sojourner on this Earth…”
4. Exegesis – “Bread on depths obscured, what do we dare bait? Sinking unobserved, hic sunt dracones.”
5. Nihil Tactum – “All the words we say until today touch upon nothing.”
6. Legerdemain (feat. Lavaman) ♫
7. Chrysalis – “The cold elegy of autumn’s butterfly echoes warm in spring rain.”
8. Leviathan – “Walking on the water, do you still fear the serpent underneath?”
9. The Juggernaut Caprice (feat. Farzad Golpayegani) ♫
