This disc is dedicated to Christa and Grant Hellert. (And to Pip, Luna, Roxie and Willie!)
1. The Anacrusis. (Dedicated to the former members of Primal Faith and to the members and fan base of Anacrusis)
2. Bolted. (An ode to the Carvin Bolt+ guitar: The most underrated guitar made in the U.S.)
3. Raising Cain. (Borrowing a great Southern Rock riff from my old bud Cain Grocox. The original version of this song hasn't been played for many, many years. I felt like it was time to bring it back to life with some new twists.)
4. Transitional Skies. (A song from my past that needed to be brought back to life)
5. The Machine Wrath. (Heavy, plodding and destructive… no one will escape the Machine Wrath!!!!)
6. Waterfronts (This was the first song written for a band I attempted to start that never materialized.)
De Mysteriis Numero Audio Trilogy
7. Part 1: Origins (The first track written for this disc)
8. Part 2: Fade to the Past (Part of this was written when I was 17, part of it at 25 and part of it now. It's a collaboration with 2 younger versions of myself. It’s a song decades in the making!)
9. Part 3: Onward (A look at the future… who knows?)
