Origin of Symmetry is the sound of a band shedding their influences and ascending into a stratosphere of their own making. It is an album that feels like a collision between the 19th-century concert hall and a dystopian future.
The music is defined by a restless energy, where delicate, classical piano motifs are suddenly obliterated by some of the most aggressive, distorted bass tones ever committed to tape. It is a record that embraces melodrama not as a flaw, but as a primary engine of expression.
