* HopeSpot: ''Empyrean'' the album is about the protagonist finding a new planet like Earth, and indeed, the title track basically completely changes the tune of the lyrics, going from nasty introspection about how bad humanity was, to how the new tomorrow has at last been reached, since this is when Mankind finally finds Empyrean.

They also are known for their incredibly in-depth storyline that starts with ''Conqueror'', and ends with ''Xenon'', with ''Acheron'' and singles, ''To Coexist Is To Surrender'' and ''The World We Lost'' serving as the prequels, and singles, ''Andromeda'' and ''Cepheus'' filling the gaps between them. ''Conqueror'' and the first half of ''Empyrean'' is about an AfterTheEnd setting where a holy war has begun destroying the planet Earth, and the protagonist, so revolted with how insane both sides of the war are acting, renounces religion and escapes to the stars, looking for "[[{{Utopia}} The Just City]]", where mankind hasn't tried killing themselves over such trivial matters. The second half of ''Empyrean'' and ''Xenon'' reveal that all of Conqueror and the first half of Empyrean were just memories of a soldier from the holy war, and introduces us to our true protagonists, [[IdentityAmnesia Amytnas]] and Alithea, who are stuck on the planet Empyrean, a planet inhabited by cyborgs. Eventually the protagonists find The Just City. However, it turns out The Just City is just full of cyborgs and humans relying on machines to live. At the end of Xenon, it is revealed that Alithea wants Amytnas to destroy Empyrean, which is explained in the album, ''Acheron,'' as the planet Acheron, a planet inhabited by humans, was almost destroyed by the armies of Empyrean, and the survivors retreated back to the [[SpaceStation Cepheus Ring, a giant mechanical ring surrounding the planets of Acheron and Empyrean,]] and revealing that Amytnas and Alithea are two of the said survivors. All the while, the politics of two planets, the fate of one, and the secrets of how the protagonist got out in space are explored throughout the music.

Eventually the protagonists find The Just City. However, it turns out The Just City is just full of cyborgs and humans relying on machines to live. At the end of Xenon, it is revealed that Alithea wants Amytnas to destroy Empyrean, which is explained in the album, ''Archeron,'' as the planet, Archeron, a planet inhabited by humans, was almost destroyed by the armies of Empyrean, and the survivors retreated back to the [[SpaceStation Cepheus Ring, a giant mechanical ring surrounding the planets of Archeron and Empyrean.]] All the while, the politics of two planets, the fate of one, and the secrets of how the protagonist got out in space are explored throughout the music.



* BaldWoman: One of the protagonists, and main heroine, Alithea, is bald.
* CorruptChurch: TWO in fact. Two religious groups have a full scale war, leading to the [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destruction of Earth.]]
* Cyborg: Empyrean is inhabited by cyborgs.
* DecoyProtagonist: The protagonist of ''Conqueror'' and the first half of ''Empyrean'' is just there to showcase the destruction of Earth, and the albums were all just memories of the soldier given to Amytnas, our main protagonist.



* IdentityAmnesia: Amytnas, the main protagonist starting with the second half of Empyrean, Xenon, and Archeron, has lost his memory. It turns out that all of Conqueror and the first half of Empyrean were just memories of the protagonist fighting in the war of Earth. He eventually regains his memory at the end of Xenon, also remembering why he and Alithea wants to destroy Empyrean, and ends the story in a cliffhanger.



* {{Revenge}}: The main driving force of Amytnas's and Alithea's reason for wanting to destroy Empyrean, Empyrean destroyed Archeron's landscape, leading all survivors to the [[SpaceStation Cepheus Ring.]]

They also are known for their incredibly in-depth storyline that starts with ''Conqueror", and ends with ''Xenon'', with EPs and Singles filling the gaps between them. The story is about an AfterTheEnd setting where a holy war has begun destroying the planet Earth, and the protagonist, so revolted with how insane both sides of the war are acting, renounces religion and escapes to the stars, looking for "[[{{Utopia}} The Just City]]", where mankind hasn't tried killing themselves over such trivial matters. All the while, the politics of two planets, the fate of one, and the secrets of how the protagonist got out in space are explored throughout the music.

* HopeSpot: ''Empyrean'' the album is about the protagonist finding a new planet like Earth, and indeed, the title track basically completely changes the tune of the lyrics, going from nasty introspection about how bad humanity was, to how the new tomorrow has at last been reached, since this is when Mankind finally finds Empyrean.

An {{Industrial Metal}} band from Batavia, Illinois. Notable for being part of the growing "Cyber Metal" offshoot of Industrial Metal, and for being extremely prolific in spite of being independently produced and created, and have staved off from signing to a major label for about 11 years and counting. Oh, and for being very heavy on the dosage of epic when it comes to creating their songs.
