I bet you thought we were dead and buried. It’s been almost four years since our previous album. However, we have been working hard to improve our sound, played some gigs and I really believe the break has developed as a band. It’s much more of a band album than Trace of Ligh was. I believe you find our sound more earthy and aggressive. If the first album was mellow, distant and blue, this one is full of colours and life. Of course the judgement is yours. But I really urge you to try it.

We’ve spent last month and a half to finalise the album after a year of base work. We’ve really enjoyed the process. This album is definitely more of a band album than Trace of Light. We’ve tested most of our new songs in concerts and even made some changes.
Not all the songs are happy. My father died for four months ago. It was tougher than I did ever imagine. We had our fights and I was his rebel son, but had huge respect on his values and the way he urged us to build our own values individually and to live after them. I have seldom succeeded in living up to them, but they are still there, in my heart. From my part, I’m dedicating this album to the memory of my father.
In these times of turmoil, I believe it is very important to bring our basic values back to discussion. This crisis shows where ultimate greed and selfishness has brought us to. The most stupid president in entire history of USA, whose values - or lack of values - brought us to this turmoil, where tens of millions of people will suffer because greed of few and that nobody followed what was happening. We need to learn from it. The good part is that now they have a president whose talks the language I find easy to adapt to: Values. He has all the abilities to become the best president of USA. Let’s all hope that for sake of our children. I’m not an American, so why I talk so much about it. Unfortunately they have a huge impact on all of our lives.
We are a social animal. Let’s start behaving like ones.
All the best and hopefully we’ll see you during our gigs.
