about

Recording began on February 28th, 2013 and ended sometime in 2014.

[[[[THE STORY]]]]
A concept album with a story set hundreds of years into the future. Tone was just an ordinary slacker with nothing worry about until his brother, Wave, kills himself because he's had enough of the dark times. The grieving brother then decides there's nothing left to lose. Its time to overtake the fascist government by starting a cult known as the Brave Runaways. The revolution slowly gains hundreds of followers. The evil government tries to fight back by engineering a monster known as Megalozilla, who is some sort of mutant shark-lizard, but the monster ends up destroying everything in its sight. Tone, who becomes the hero, blasts Megalozilla with a photon cannon. Instead of dying, Megalozilla just becomes a bunch of radioactive frogs. The group steals some space shuttles to flee to a planet without inhabitants. Welcome to Planet Zero...
