It is time for some serious Zeitgeist. Rithiya Henry Khiev started writing this composition some time ago. But he did not quite move forward at some point and temporarily abandoned the song in favour of other projects.
The continuation commenced in early days of the lockdown as you might have assumed. But "Travesties from Closure" is way more than just a COVID-19 product. Rithiya Henry Khiev processes the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests around the world in his new composition.

Imposant Symphonic Metal leads into powerful Progressive Metal. While the background is defined by raw and distorted Heavy Metal riffing, Rithyia Henry Khiev foregrounds a loungy, somewhat jazzy but still intense set of motifs. The intensity of "Travesties from Closure" increases steadily while the artist presents several layers of pompous voices on piano and guitar.

Proggy, symphonic, jazzy, soft and solid at the same time. This is an impressive song conveying the emotions of our present days. "Travesties from Closure" will please fans of artists such as Rhy Dongjiu or Alex Gallieni.
I am closing this review with a quote by the artist himself:
"May equality reign supreme, and racism deemed a mental disorder".
