Cycles is a conceptual album which encompasses the transformation of the human spirit. Autumn comes stripping our lives away... exposing us to our innermost selves. Winter comes with pain where we fight to overcome our innermost fears and obstacles. Spring comes... we regain our energies to build again, push through life and conquer our innermost aspirations. Summer comes... we are regrown, whole again and celebrate our victories.
