Tar a-Kan is narrated by a man in the near future who is ravaged by the change in time, technology, and himself. Tar a-Kan struggles to come to terms with his ever changing state and the crushing urbana that surrounds him. Metal Sucks has called the opening track of Tar a-Kan, "A Fading Whisper", "billowing music with anguished, rotund vocals and haunting hooks to create something that’s sure to burrow under your skin. Seriously: you’re not gonna be able to shake this one off easily, and if you’re hair isn’t already jet black, it will be by the time this track is done. Don’t say we didn’t warn you."
