JAELYN - WE BEGIN cassette tape
WE BEGIN is the debut release of Philly-based progressive metal/post-hardcore band JAELYN. I (me, Mattie) play bass in this band, but WE BEGIN was released before I joined up, as a solo project by singer Jaelyn Robinson.

It's now just a barren rock floating silently in space. Humanity had no choice but to move on and outward, spreading into several galaxies. Each galaxy is ruled by one of The Seven Sisters of Pleiades.One of the sisters, Raim, rules her galaxy with an iron fist. Her slave labor ships known as, Reapers, are massive prisons.
