about

This album's premise was based around the idea of demolition -- making way for new growth by destroying waste. In life we all try to force our way through many things. Sometimes it takes a step back to move forward.

This is thePhantom*'s creative interpretation of the process of destroying and Rebuilding.

100% of album sales go towards advancing an independent artist. 0% of sales go to a monopolizing, life-sucking, creativity repressing major label.

Enjoy!
