Guitars meander and sparkle while Jen's angel-siren vocals pour out emotion into beautiful layers.

The CD features 11 songs / 57 minutes of music produced by the band. Half of the album was mixed by Shimmy Disc's Kramer, the other half by Elysium, an unearthly sound... reminiscent of the famed Cocteau Twins that we all know and love. Jenny Adams provides the vocals with a range that simply makes our temples throb... floating somewhere between the stratosphear and hemishpere, finding ballast in a chord, a voice, a word.

The lyrics in Elysium's song "Deadline" are conveying a very grim vision of a future where humanity is on the brink of extinction. The first verse speaks of going into the aeons of darkness, where the air is too thick to breathe and Earth is colliding. This imagery sets the tone for a post-apocalyptic world, where people are struggling to survive.
The second verse talks about the closure of ethnic cleansing, with mankind being downhearted and dull. The phrase "follow no leaders" suggests a lack of hope in leadership, perhaps due to the failure of past leadership. The song then goes on to describe a new global suicide, where humanity is excluded and evolution is reversed. The final line of this verse seems to suggest a form of combat resurrection, where people are victorious through their fighting.
The chorus of the song shifts focus to those who have misguided beliefs: devoted false messiahs and disposable crusaders. The dove of peace is torn apart, highlighting the presence of conflict. These lines set up the notion that the end is close at hand. The bridge describes a new age legion and a full metal holocaust, where people have become treason disciples and are using destructive methods with snake bullet cruises. The final line "as above so below" likely refers to the idea that the state of the outer world reflects one's inner world.
