“Where the past meets the future, an ancient horror must be faced & an enemy must die.”

The Saga Continues: 5/2/25

»Upon Whom The Last Light Descends II: Amnesia Island« continues the journey of the I Nomad who, in Pt I, receives what he perceives as a nefarious »Invitation« to descend into Hell. In PT II’s Intro called »Concussion Dream«, after crying out desperately for help, »The Unknown Knower« communicates in a broken signal that hints at a possible breach between an analog & digital realm. Yet again, an »Invitation« is presented, this time more of a demand to »Cross The Threshold« and carry an urgent message to the people/characters of Amnesia Island: “The Crime was not the Dream, the Crime was forgetting to Wake Up.”

As the Narrative stretches across 7 songs, clocking in at just under 50 minutes, the I Nomad encounters several characters, from the »Doomsday Zealot« to the »Schizo Messiah« to the »Psychic Surgeon« & his Exiled tribe of »Prosthetic Monks« from the track »D. I. E. Sect«, to a showdown with God within the belly of the Ghost of a White Whale (white whale represents unresolved anger). All leading toward a final recitation of scalding condemnation at the »Temple Of Thieves«.
