Search - Gates Of Dissent :: Gates Of Dissent

This album revolves mainly around the concept of identity and the complexities of what we discern as "self." It delves specifically into questioning of self and my path into the destruction and breakdown of ego. Though the intention on a larger scale is a positive one, it can be a very difficult and dangerous process to take apart your own beliefs and the stability of who you have come to see yourself as. Personalities can become merely stubborn frameworks in the face of an egotistical mindset. This album is a reflection on the effects disorder has on personality, as well as the limitations our identities and stubborn beliefs cause us in pursuit of finding our true selves. Emotionally, the album represents to me the ups and downs of living and the struggle to keep a balance whilst breaking the chains that would maintain our hold on reality.
