[edit] Changes
This is the first full-length album After Forever released after the departure of Mark Jansen (not counting the mini album Exordium), and the changes on this album are very clear. A new sound has been found by the band, one mostly revolving around elements of heavy metal.
Lyrically, After Forever has chosen an entirely different theme, letting go of the dangers of religion, and focusing more on different social problems. Also after Mark Jansen left the band, the band stopped putting the songs in parts [i.e. The Embrace That Smothers, and The Sealed Fate]
