Warangelic The technical prowess of this album is astounding. Love every second of this record. Favorite track: Perception I: An Awareness.

bucky509 This album is just an all around masterpiece!!! It’s hard to pick just one song. But I really like how Perception II rolls right into Perception III. And adding Aleksandras amazing voice to the songs just makes the moments shine that much more. Just a great band and a killer album done right. Hate to hear it’s TRCC last mastered release but def think they ended strong. I wish them all the best in their future and hope to hear about what projects members will merge into. Share this band!!! Favorite track: Perception II: The Silent Mind feat. Aleksandra Radosavljevic.

fathead dog I was hooked on these guys when I heard "Primitives", so I already knew that they are phenomenal band. However, I was really taken back by the direction they went with this album, but not in a bad way. The contrast between the hard hitting and atmospheric parts in the music come together so well! This album will definitely attract more fans. I definitely recommend getting all their albums, these guys are sick! Favorite track: Introspection feat. Larry Ivy.

Slammer Just found this - complex and enormous sound. Fantastic!!! This album gets better the more you listen to it. Favorite track: Perception II: The Silent Mind feat. Aleksandra Radosavljevic.

Tyler Gorski Another absolute masterpiece in the progressive metal world, and music as a whole. More melody, technicality, and brand new sounds keep every song fresh. TRCC never disappoints.

Gary Hanson Best Album 2016 (Tied with Fallujah's Dreamless) Favorite track: Perception I: An Awareness.

An Awareness, is growing within within us we are, we are the source of light an awareness is growing within
2.	Perception I: An Awareness 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Existence is more than is seems it is your perception what do you see? Existence is more than a dream it is your perception that will set you free. We are the source of being, where time knows no end An infinity trapped inside the finite hearts of men An awareness is growing within, within us Existence is more than a dream it is your perception that will set you free Existence is more than is seems it is your perception what do you see? Like a child sees for the first time The world is formed through our very eyes We are alive A fire in the mind An awareness is growing within Within Us
3.	Exist in Abstraction feat. Aleksandra Djelmas 04:10	lyrics	buy track
(I) I am sentience. (We) We are the hive. Our cohesive cognizance; That which brings our world alight. A world bathed in thought A universe created by the Mind A reality that we have wrought Eyes wide shut, they keep us blind Will you remain a cog within this automaton? Or can you break free and Liberate our Hive? We must absolve this blind form of cognition, open our minds, and see the light A world bathed in thought A universe created by the Mind A reality that we have wrought Eyes wide shut, they keep us blind We Exist in abstraction, an illusion on the inside (We) we are sentient. (Now) Now there is no hive. Our cohesive cognizance; That which finally opened our eyes.
4.	Introspection feat. Larry Ivy 05:30	lyrics	buy track
I am the witness I am forever I am the witness that lies within I watch from the depth transcend all illusion (shapeless, formless) I’m an eternal resonance with no end Mental mountains keep us apart (separate) Two Halves divided from the very ground in which we are (Separate) From your feelings, watch them passing through you A breath of light is whispering Quiet the inside to hear it calling to you, Calling to you… I am not this body, I am not these thoughts I’m the eye that sees, the one I call me The true self you forgot You are a lens through which I see the beauty of creation, watch it pass through you like the wind Only then will you see the witness that’s within you… Breathe in Breathe out release your anxiety A moment of clarity will open your mind to possibilities Believe the possibility that you are bigger than your dreams Believe the possibility that you are more than it would seem You are a lens through which I see the beauty of creation, watch it pass through you like the wind Only then will you see the witness that’s within (2x) you… An infinite power, shrouded from my eyes but the very earth bears witness to its existence Revealing a simple truth, I am the witness I am forever
5.	A Polarity feat. Jonathan Carpenter 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Beyond, where the lights non existent. From the depths of ourselves unexplored, The search for a balance between poles of existence with present moment ignored. accept impermanence and you can see the truth of your being In a flash all distinctions will pass words will be lost and language will lose all meaning A strange feeling is overcoming me all sense of separation dissolved. We all suffer because we look to the future that will never come Omnipotence is our true state shadowed by desire We can never know our own fate control the fire Behold The awareness a mind like fire unbound ... Can you feel it? Can you feel it within you? Can you feel it, the one true reality that holds breath within your lungs Can you feel your consciousness the unyeilding power that it holds Born, born from death we exist within polarity For the moment has come and I can see with all clarity We are the source of light But we have lived a lie Can you feel that fire? Building up inside The two selves I once knew must now divide Can you feel that fire Hear me now and feel my words Ignite the fire Hear me now and feel my words Ignite the fire in your heart Return to the void the true self that we know Break through. Destroying the ego. From extinction life is born
6.	Perception II: The Silent Mind feat. Aleksandra Radosavljevic 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Existence is more than it seems, it is your perception what do you see? Reality is our conception it is our invention to be shaped by the mind A cycle never ending, concept undefined To be shaped by the mind, a cycle never ending concept undefined We are the aperture through which the eye of god sees We are the mouth through which all of consciousness breathes To know this will set you free (set you free) To know this will set you free (set you free) Just feel the moment, infinite in time. It’s all just in your mind… Just feel the moment Beyond ourselves is a peace that can be found within For the first time I am alive, awake with a silent mind Living now and forever An awareness is growing within and now I see We are the aperture through which the eye of god sees We are the mouth through which all of consciousness breathes Existence is more than it seems, it is your perception what do you see?
7.	Perception III: The Veil That Conceals feat. Aleksandra Radosavljevic 08:50	lyrics	buy track
Now I see, all this is really me a universe within. The veil that conceals that which is real, we must transcend…We must transcend An infinite power, shrouded from my eyes we are everlasting we're outside of time Entangled in thoughts you get lost, look at what you forgot I have silenced my mind now the veil is aside and all the worlds unlocked This altered state has left me with an emptiness words can not describe Am I God or am I man I can not decide Time means nothing to me Because I see birth and death can not be escaped and balance must be attained We are the sum of everything the whole of existence torn apart Now I see, all this is really me a universe within. The veil that conceals that which is real, we must transcend To see ourselves as separate shells, such a myopic lens An awareness have grown within, we are the source of light with no beginning or end We are the source of being, where time knows no end, and infinity trapped inside the finite hearts of men Now I see, this is really me (a universe within) the veil that conceals, conceals that which is real We must transcend

I was quickly overwhelmed the moment I listened to "Interlude." Oriental atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt is very intertwined through all. Supreme Truth has something in common with Linkin Park's Meteora. Catsfist
