Experiment One: Asylum tells the story of main character Asylum, who battles with multiple-personality disorder stemming from a dark personal tragedy. Each track on the album explores a different personality, weaving the listener through a mind of severe mental illness with a dynamic, heavy soundtrack.
"The band's musical style also has multiple personalities, blending precise technical and extreme sections with melodic and more experimental parts. It's very modern sounding with a lot of twists and turns in terms of tempo, atmosphere and intensity." - Chad Bowar, About.com Heavy Metal
"...the balance of the material here is well conceived and equally well executed... Scurlack and company deftly navigate the music's twists and turns as Mitchell and Clement play Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the mics."- Peter Atkinson, KNAC.com
"Raleigh's VALLEYS have crafted a well-executed progressive metalcore album with Experiment One: Asylum that is almost inhumanly spot-on for genre style points." - Morgan Ywain Evans, MetalRiot.com
"Sucking you in with melody and audio concepts, there is a softness that lures in listeners, then slams them up against the wall in hard hitting riffs." - Marisa Williams, Examiner.com
