The core elements of the band, Metatron [Vocals], J.D Tait [guitars], Alan Davey [Bass thunder] and skim hammerer Urakbarameel have created a concept album that centers around the humanity of the Galilean healer who became a God of western aspirations and whose own roots became washed away with the cleansing of the Roman Church.
