2011, Fredy Schnyder, the artistic authority behind Nucleus Torn, wrote this album already back in the spring of 2008, shortly after the release of KNELL, and together with 13 musicians worked for three years on its completion. The result is an album that more than any of Nucleus Torn's previous works looks back to 1970's Progressive Rock, paying homage to masters of the form such as King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, and Änglagard. Still, it also contains the broadest stylistic diversity you have ever heard on an album by Nucleus Torn: on GOLDEN AGE, the Swiss neither shy back from the catchiness of pop music nor from the abysses of metal, and they underlay the record with a conceptional dramaturgy the listener can only shake off when the album is finished.
