It was entitled A Monument to the Death of an Idea and would showcase the progressive, hard rock and atmospheric style they had developed over the course of the past two years.

[4] In order to promote the release on a wider scale, the band used their musical knowledge and contacts they had made since their formation and formed a partnership called Anomalousz Music Records Ltd. (based on Ben's old tape trading/promo company name) By setting up their own record label, A Monument to the Death of an Idea would become available worldwide.

The band signed with CODE 7/Plastic Head Distribution to handle this, allowing the CD to become available through all major music outlets such as Play.com, Amazon.com, and HMV.

It initially ran through the month of October as a three-band bill with two other up-and-coming bands, SpeedTheory and About A Plane Crash, who had been receiving positive reviews of their own in many magazines and other media outlets.

The band played a well-received and successful homecoming gig show at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth 24 June, with a stand-in second guitarist.

I won't blame anyone or anything, but simply say the relief I had at writing 'The Fire Around The Lotus' and 'Waves of Ascension' was like a floodgate opening in me...and I never looked back.

In the weeks prior to its release, tracks from the new album received rotation on Kerrang radio and Bruce Dickinson's BBC 6 Music rock show.

On 11 November 2009, the official website for The Metalcamp festival confirmed that Enochian Theory were to co-headline the second stage at the 2010 event.

Festival organisers at the time were quoted as saying "Enochian Theory are gaining more and more reputation with their music, crossing various genres.

The aim of pushing themselves as musicians and expanding their sound further creates an even more epic addition to their already impressive repertoire".

To support the release of the new album, the band began working with booking agents in the UK and around Europe to arrange their own tour.

In conjunction with Classic Rock Magazine and Factory Music booking agency, Enochian Theory were part of the Progression 2.0.

The key difference between the debut record and this, is that Ben wrote and arranged it solely on his own, due to various external reasons.

Enochian Theory shot a music video for the track "Inversions" with the UK production company "One Name Films".

In August 2012, Enochian Theory signed a Publishing deal with "Northern Music", the management company behind acts such as Devin Townsend, Opeth, and Katatonia.

They joined Steve Hackett & Band, Spock's Beard, Katatonia, The Flower Kings, Arena and others performing at the two-day festival.

[33] The band undertook three exclusive headline shows during September 2012, where they played 'Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio' and 'Life... And All It Entails' in their entirety over the course of the evening.

[34] On 1 March 2013, the band embarked on a fifteen date European tour with Nuclear Blast recording artists Threshold.

They were joined on the bill by Hawkwind, The Enid, Caravan, Mostly Autumn, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, It Bites and many more.

[38] Following the band's appearance at the HRH Prog festival and headline show in Southampton, they embarked on a UK tour with The Enid.
