Could you put these on a Soundcloud or a Bandcamp so I can listen before I download?

Can't download it. Just put them all on SoundCloud or something and you'll actually get someone to listen to your stuff. (Not to sound like a dick, but it's not many people out of 10 who want to download stuff they haven't even heard a second of)

Here's the bandcamp!

I listened to it now!

In the beginning I thought "well, this will rock!". I really liked the first minute of "Sedative", but then I found that musical change at 1:21 a bit too radical, I was maybe expecting something else and it might also be just my tastes.
The bass is very loud and maybe too much in that track, too. If you compare it with "A Chance Encounter", it seems like the bass is missing there. :S

Some riffs sound very trippy and story fitting, I very much love the beginning of "The Celestine Artifact" for example. But at :55 seconds in that song, it takes the wrong turn songwriting wise, IMO.

I like the attempt in general and also the idea, but I somehow don't like the realization. I also didn't actually get the plot
This might not be the best type of music to accompany a thrilling story. It just doesn't fit with the orchestral parts for me. :S
A concept with such a story is hard to make and I'm not sure if people are patient enough to listen to the whole thing, even if there are some nice sections in it.

To me it seems that you tried to do a bit too much for your first album.
Keep it smoother next time and concentrate on producing just music, and not a story. The time will come

I hope I helped and don't be angry,
thats just my opinion!

Greetings!
