Final Conversation of Kings by The Butterfly Effect

Final Conversation of Kings, the third studio album by Brisbane's the Butterfly Effect, came out on September 20, 2008, with singer Clint Boge, guitarist Kurt Goedhart, bassist Glenn Esmond and drummer Ben Hall in the classic lineup. Following Imago, it's the record where the band first stretched out into progressive rock.

The songs get knottier and more ambitious, riffs coiling and uncoiling under Boge's soaring voice, and "Window and the Watcher" led the way as the first single a couple of weeks before release, with "Final Conversation" and "In These Hands" following. Critics liked the new ambition and the album entered the Australian charts at number three. Then came a long silence: Boge left in 2012, and there was no new album until IV in 2022.
