Hey
I know that "The Inner Circle" is a cult album about this guy who follows this religious group, chnages his life for it and finds out he is lied to. I also know that "The Dark Discovery" is also a cult album, but is the story kind of like "The Inner Circle" in terms of a person being lied to about religion?
In what way is TDD a cult album?

December 26: About alien abduction
The Dark Discovery: About a father that is dying from cancer
As Light is our Darkness: About a guy who doesn't know what he wants with life or indeed if he even wants to live at all. At the end of the song he dies and he enters the dreamless, eternal sleep.

To Hope is to Fear: Simply about life. That you ever quite now where you will end up and that life is in fact quite scary. Hoping for something is simply being afraid that it will never come true.
This is all shortened explanation from an interview with Tom himself in Bright Eyes #3, a Swedish metal magazine that now goes by the name Sweden Rock Magazine.
