An Odyssey Through Eschatology is the third Roots Noir album from artist and producer, Brian Battaile.
It is a concept album that starts. tracks 1-4, with the creation of the solar system, earth, life and humanity. Eschatology is the biblical study of the end times, and tracks 5-13 are about how humanity could easily destroy itself through 6 ways, climate change, genetic engineering, AI, over population, robotics, and war.
Tracks 14-15 are redemptive songs from the perspective of earth, in that life will continue without humanity.
There are a number of recurring themes connecting the songs, such as the paradoxical nature of humanity, where intelligence, combined with hubris, inevitably leads to self-destruction.
