This sequel album takes a deeper dive into the darkness of our psyche and explores the personal torment and struggle we inflict upon ourselves, one another, and the earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has become common place for people to give up on themselves and lose their belief in their abilities and self-worth. This in turn affects our daily actions \/ behaviour. We are a cripplingly, self-harming species <em>but<\/em> we are also profoundly capable beings of altruism, evolution, and positivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis album will close the \u2018Prevail\u2019 double sequel on the lightest of all notes by acknowledging that every single person has a desire to be and deserves to be truly seen, loved, and heard.
