Egotoxin by Boss Moxi
This latest evolution of Boss Moxi, their second studio album, Egotoxin. This is the first part of many parts to come. Part 1 is this 62 minutes of continuous, revolving, mind-poking music over 14 thematic songs. It acts as the score for the dark and twisted narrative thrown across over a hundred pages of original graphic novel illustrations by the band's lead singer, Brayden Doig.
Synopsis:
"Amidst a mysterious high profile murder, Yugen city falls under new rule and with it comes cruel violence. Yugen’s elite fear the imminent realisation that they are now pawns in the shadow of their new tyrannical leader, and their grip on a once compliant metropolis has thus escaped them.
Unbeknown to the chaos swallowing the city, an observer plans its rescue from afar. With all of the cities dark truths willingly carried by his single soul, this one mans heroic plan is cut short by the sudden reappearance of the only woman he’s ever loved . . ."
