The band, also featuring vocalist Ted Leonard (Enchant), began through an internet ad placed by Harris. After Michael and Ted spent quite some time crafting the material, they then united with the rhythm section of Haji's Kitchen (formerly on Shrapnel Records) and Outworld keyboardist Bobby Williamson to form "Thought Chamber". This group is all about songs and musicianship, with styles ranging from metal to jazz to classical tinged prog.

The debut CD is entitled "Angular Perceptions", which the band has secured a deal for with InsideOut Music, and was released on April 3, 2007 worldwide. The band is presently working on their follow up record.

God of Oblique
Thought Chamber Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep Into the Dawn of Time and the Ageless Centuries
Day Unclear of Mortal Year And Soul Discoveries
To Reveal the Mystery of the Final Quest of Why
Found Our Place in Time and Space As Children of the Sky

Through Fields of Green, And Roads Unseen
We Scaled This Earth, Of Our Rebirth

A Blind Generation In Eyes of Creation; What Is the End We Seek?
One Final Solution; A Stark Resolution; Deliver Us For We Are the Meek
God of Oblique, God of Oblique

Forging On Through Drought and Deluge;
Fear No Land We Tread
We Migrate and Cultivate; Adversity Ahead
Set to Find a New Life Leaving Yesterday in Gray
Poison Coil Upon This Soil; Dark Ones Hideaway

Through Might and Main, And Violent Plain
We Scaled This Earth, To Our Rebirth

A Blind Generation In Eyes of Creation; What Is the End We Seek?
One Final Solution; A Stark Resolution; Deliver Us For We Are the Meek
God of Oblique, God of Oblique

Weary Eyed We Search In Quest of Truth Obscure
Mystified; Our Exodus At Hand, Our Purpose Pure

As We Pave the Future For Our Progeny
We Only Hope Through Our Own Eyes They Will See

Deep Into the Dawn of Time and the Ageless Centuries
Day Unclear of Mortal Year As We Sailed Uncharted Seas
To Reveal the Mystery of the Final Quest of Why
Found Our Place in Time and Space As Children of the Sky

Through Storm and Strain, And Rough Terrain
We Scale This Earth, To Our Rebirth

A Blind Generation In Eyes of Creation; What Is the End We Seek?

One Final Solution; A Stark Resolution; Deliver Us For We Are the Meek
God of Oblique
