About The Album:
Produced by Alex Bosson, mixed by Carlos Alvarez, and mastered by Tony Lindgren, ‘Tempora Mutantur’ is an ambitious concept album exploring themes of growth, loss, and self-reflection through the lens of time. With vibrant artwork by Ed Bosson, the album features a blend of heavy prog metal, jazzy interludes, atmospheric melodies, and emotionally charged passages.
Originally conceived as a four-track seasonal EP, the project expanded into a full album as the band delved deeper into the complexities of time’s effects on both the physical and emotional self. Tracks like “A Summer To Forget” and the three-part title suite “Tempora Mutantur” offer a captivating mix of progressive metal and world music elements, complemented by contributions from guest musicians such as Wayne Ingram (Wilderun) and Sam Vallen (Caligula’s Horse).
