With a running time of just over forty-five minutes, Another Life bursts from its shell with the eponymous title track inspired primarily by Shelley’s aphorism on the rich becoming richer. ‘Hellion’ maintains this fast pace as it leads us through a double-edged narrative and into ‘Sands of Time’—the first of the three-part Rise of Narmer suite detailing the birth and demise of the first pharaoh. The fourth track, the angst-ridden and furiously riffed anti-tabloid ‘Black and White’ rips and shreds from the outset until reaching a frenetic climax.
The haunting ‘Forsaken’ tackles the guilt-ridden emotional turmoil suffered from losing a loved one through mental illness, while ‘Silence’ carries on this theme from the alternative point of view. The pharaoh’s tale continues with the anthemic ‘First One’ and its crowd-pleasing chorus. ‘Hunter Hunted’ provides a change of pace as we’re once again taken on a double-edged journey, this time through the mind of a hunter struggling to survive. With ‘Awakening’, the pharaonic trilogy is brought to a close in a blistering crescendo as the album closer, ‘To the Father, a Son’ bids a fond and loving final farewell from a son to their father after their passing.
