The Half-Light Symphony is the first EP by New Zealand progressive rock band Battle Circus .
A concept record depicting mankind's transitional stages of existence following a cataclysmic nuclear disaster, the EP is divided into four distinct movements that provide a narrative for each part of the story.
The research and hypotheses of US-based academic Dr. Philip K. Mossman heavily influenced the band, and were central to the themes of the album.
Throughout the New Zealand tour for the album the band would perform The Half-Light Symphony in its entirety, from start to finish.
The band commissioned renowned Japanese artist Ryohei Hase (www.ryoheihase.com) to create the artwork.
