Well, since there's the question of "what is Kezia?" I did a bit of research....
"Kezia is a 'situational requiem', similar to a concept album in that it tells a story. It is an elegy of the young woman Kezia's execution, chronicled in the perspective of three characters: The Prison Priest, The Prison Guard/Gunman, and Kezia herself. Each character is designated a section containing three songs, with a single retrospective finale concluding the album. The three characters represent an aspect of the bandmembers themselves, endowing artistic fingerprints to a deeply personal album.
Kezia was not intended to be listened to superficially; only a fraction of the story and emotion will be heard in this way. Aesthetic should surpass the musicianship, and focus paid to deciphering the cryptic lyrics; the theme is more than a pretentious backdrop, but tells a poignant and provocative tale. The album was written to be interpreted in its entirety, not skimmed at face-value. The story (which is admitted to be heavily influenced by the works of Dostoevsky) of Kezia was conceived by bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi when the Protest boys were in the eleventh grade (2002-2003)..."
