Ah, another old release remade and brought forward into modern times! As much as I really loved SoM and RISEN, New Genesis will always be my favorite of the three early "Stratocaster" era of my releases.

This was also the first of my works that was built around a story from the start. I've also always been very proud of the album art that I made for this one too. Not only is having the big 'ol cosmic and ethereal snake pretty kickass, but it's also very fitting for the story of the album. Obviously said snake is the "Ouroboros", representing infinity, and the cycle of life and death. However rather than have it eating its own tail, it's left open-ended. Just as the ending of the album's story is left open-ended as to what the fate of humanity is by the conclusion.

The symbol residing within the serpent may also probably look familiar as well. It is the "World Triad" symbol. I wound up combining some of the interpreted meanings of this ancient symbol from both its use as a Chinese symbol, its use in Gnosticism, as well as the Shinto version of it, "Mitsu tomoe". Long story short is that this is supposed to represent the spirit of humanity itself, swirling and going about with its own cycle.

So in relation to the album, we have the spirit of humanity itself trapped within a vicious cycle. With the small hope and opening of potentially escaping this "infinity". New Genesis follows the story of an ancient human civilization on the brink of destruction. They take to the stars, and after much time and hardship, humanity manages to begin anew. But, as the civilization reaches its peak once more, it once again faces the threat of complete annihilation.

But yeah, that's the deeper meaning and backstory behind the album art!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the album! I also hope you all look forward to when I get around to remaking my "HORIZONS" album as well! ~DAR
