Scribings of a Forgotten Soul is a concept album based on the true story of several individuals that were in URN singer/guitarist Dominic St. Charles‘ life who were directly involved in a prison riot at state correctional facility near the town where he attended high school. “Think of it as a ‘Law & Order’ approach to the story we are telling here,” he explained. “Of course, all of the characters are completely fictitious and do not represent any person living or dead. It was a major event that shook my community at the time and my best friend’s father was the night shift supervisor. So a couple of months before it happened, he took a group of my friends and I on a tour of the prison at 2:30 a.m. (we thought it would be interesting to do). The experience of seeing all that was going on from the inside from many perspectives, the prisoners, the guards, etc., ended up being highly enlightening for me. So when the riot broke out, it was hitting very close to home and I had been doing a good bit of writing at the time and decided to chronicle these events. So in essence, that is what this album is about a fictional depiction of this event.”
