Beyond the Universe – Nemesis I,

is theIcon’s debut album available in stores from January 27, 2022.

This concept album divided in two acts tells the story of Emily and Abe, a couple from Montauk (NY) which has to deal with an illogical twist of fate that brings Emily on another universe, ours.
Follow the story of both characters and their downward spiral, both in search for a way to find a meaning when there’s none to be found.
