„It is a dark, bleak, night. The air is wrought with tension and in the background, Parliament Hill burns to ashes in the night sky. Canada has been seized by martial law, betrayed by a group of corrupt politicians intent on solidifying their rule. Somewhere, in the midst of all this, a voice is heard, lamenting the trials and plights of a nation consumed by chaos. This brooding landscape sets the scene for Mike Nagoda‘s debut album, Parliament. Inspired by post apocalyptic science fiction, this album is Mike‘s answer to the genre that has intrigued many across the globe for years. Dissatisfied with leaving the chaos and despair solely to the Americans and the British, he figured it was high time to plunge his own country into madness.“
