Although darker and heavier in tone than the 2012 mini-EP Lucent and the 2015 full-length album Reliquary, 2018’s Symmetry explores similar lyrical concepts about the choices we make in the face of our apparent freewill and the consequences of those choices.
The Symmetry CD is poly/shrink-wrapped in a six-panel, full-color digipak with gloss UV coating on the disk.
Includes unlimited streaming of Symmetry
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
3) Quicksilver Night – features Jason Cale on vocals and lead guitar. The quicksilver night is a fugue state, a desert fantasy that he tries to inhabit in escape from reality.
lyrics
Written in the sands of my lonely heart, blown over with time
Your memory haunts me (tears me apart), casting shadows in my mind
Shimmering in the distance on the shifting sand, the mirage of your face fills my sight
I hear you calling; your outstretched hand seems so real in the quicksilver night…
Visions of you coalesce, my love, from the scattered remnants within
I reach out to hold you, astonished I find that you slip through my fingers again
A hall of mirrors, it’s never enough, ensnared within the folds of my mind
Fleeting and hollow, you know I can’t follow, and again you’ve left me behind…
I remember so clear the look of fear on your face as the water took you in a frigid embrace
Desperately grasping, I was far too late, worlds apart yet only inches away
I watched you dancing downward in deadly pantomime, silent your descent began
Broken bubbles rising, your eyes locked on mine and I knew in their sight I was damned
Unseen hands pulled me back, not feeling their touch, transfixed between the seas & the sky
I howled my rage to the winds, unheard by the gods, I felt myself fall into quicksilver night…
Each pearl of you shattered, light into rainbows, illuminates my crystalline maze
Those fragments now fractured reflect and enrapture, cruel shards to shred should I stray
A hall of mirrors, it’s never enough, ensnared within the folds of my mind
Fleeting and hollow, you know I can’t follow, and again you’ve left me behind…
Then the veil lifts, exposed in my fugue, my visions disturbed and denied
Probing my brain with the harsh beams of truth, a rent in my fabric of lies
The Sun beats down on my unsheltered eyes, the mists of my dream burn away
I’ve nowhere to run now and nowhere to hide, broken and confused in my pain
Then I feel the sting, such welcome warmth; the needle whispers sweet secrets, I fly
Darkness coldly rocking, I once more return to the realms of my quicksilver night…
Visions of you coalesce, my love, from the scattered remnants within
I reach out to hold you, astonished I find that you slip through my fingers again
A hall of mirrors, it’s never enough, ensnared within the folds of my mind
Fleeting and hollow, you know I can’t follow, and again you’ve left me behind…
I jokingly refer to myself as “First Among Equals” at Quicksilver Night and, while I am deeply involved in all aspects of
productions
at each step, I know that cannot do this alone. I am very grateful for the support of my song-specific collaborators and tech-savvy friends.

New to these guys. Bought all the albums. Beautiful music and vocals. Particularly Pete Jones. I’m not at all religious, indeed I have no time for it, but this is very lovely. Stephen Clark

This is neo prog of the most pleasant kind. Prog purists might want to criticize that "AmuZeum" includes noticeable AOR traits in their songs. As far as I'm concerned, I don't consider AOR a condemnable thing. I go for good melodies, nice chord progressions, and structural concepts in prog songs, and this album has plenty of that. By the way, I was pleased to find multi-instrumentalist Mark Wickliffe of "Ten Jinn" in the lineup! Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
