The Art of Manipulation

By ORGANize · Progressive Metal · From the album On the Sidelines of Eternity

A dark, theatrical instrumental masterpiece that explores the illusion of faith. The music opens with a grand, circus-like cathedral theme as an unsuspecting crowd marvels at false miracles. Halfway through, the song abruptly shifts into mechanical, staccato rhythms and percussive organ work, revealing the cold backstage machinery that pumps fake blood and orchestrates the deception.
