'Singularity' is the first track of the album and it is an instrumental. It has a mysterious vibe. Our History Hidden continues with the mysterious vibe but with a darker tone provided by the bass and Djent-style guitar. When the clean vocals started, it reminded me a bit of Glenn Danzig, however, they are combined with harsh vocals too. Lots of synths and a great guitar solo. The lyrics speak about the mysteries of ancient civilizations and seek what happened before our time.
Traversing the Interstellar Gateway is another instrumental track. It starts with a Middle Eastern guitar sound and then the rest of the instruments enter to transform into a more classic metal sound. It has a calmer interlude with guitar, drums, synths, and bass which are very soft. But then the guitar starts playing some crazy solos and lines, returning to the initial melody. Likewise, Contact is another instrumental with extra-terrestrial sound effects. Architects of Our World begins on the heavier side of things with clean vocals that are also combined with harsh vocals and growls. The clean represents a human and the harsh a God. The song is a conversation between those two figures in which the human tries to understand what is the purpose of the human race and the Creator answers him, to prepare Earth for the God's arrival.
Duality loops with and unsettling sounds. It's another instrumental and the final track of the record. Progressive, post-apocalyptic, dystopic sounds and lyrics, all musicalized with industrial, heavy elements and great guitar work. A concept album about where mankind is headed and a perfect soundtrack to our current times.
