Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes,

Rooted in the grand tradition of classic prog, Ecclesiastes pairs intricate instrumentation with haunting atmospheric depth, moving seamlessly from quiet introspection to dramatic crescendos. Lyrically and musically, Ecclesiastes lingers in life’s unresolved tensions: the ache of repetition, the limits of achievement, the inevitability of time.
