What is the epic story behind Howling Giant's new album, Crucible and Ruin?

The narrative is framed by a Cosmic Archivist/Librarian, a neutral being who simply records the destruction and creation. This clip is essential for fans of conceptual rock, space rock, and fantasy narratives, detailing the characters and themes that make the new album a massive sonic journey.
