In contrast to the EP\u2019s origin as the product of four different recording studios, including stints with engineers Sanford Parker (Twilight, Circle of Animals, Nachtmystium) and Aaron Harris (ISIS), the carefully crafted track listing boasts a cohesive narrative flow, lending the release an epic feel worthy of a full album.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ataraxia\/Taraxis<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u00a0Track Listing:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
