Ascension of Kings is the first full-length studio album by the British Progressive Rock band Nth Ascension, which was released in December 2014.[1] While not being a concept album, the album includes a three part suite entitled ‘Clanaan Chronicles’ which will is planned to run and occur on the band's subsequent albums. It follows a story by keyboard player Darrel Treece-Birch in the vein of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings which sees the rescue/redemption of a tortured realm from an evil dictator by a Seventh Rider who ultimately ascends to be a prophesied King.[2]
All songs written by Nth Ascension.
The track entitled Strange Dreams has a ‘Matrix’ type theme to the lyric, while the track Vision recounts the story of Moses vs Rameses from the perspective of a slave. On the other hand, the track Weight Of The World tells the story of desperation and fear that can cripple the soul but how that can be lifted through each other and true friendship.
