When Each At Least Unto Himself Shall Waken' is a 3 track experimental EP inspired by 2 poems dealing with human emotion themes like self purpose and doubt, through fear, loneliness and hope. The album is different on many levels from the previous more abstract release 'Soundless Days', this album features more experimental raw guitars and less ambient soundscapes in order to truly captivate the themes and atmosphere evoked by the art it's based on.
