(very good thing) and without gushing too much, I think the album cover looks awesome too.=D



Thanks man! Checked out Tesseract too. While not totally my cup of tea (the song Deception had some fantastic chords in it though) I can hear where youre coming from :)

Is that Experimental/Post metal? Yea I mean it's not what I first thought of but we are not Tech/Extreme and the only other one would be Progressive metal. I think it's better for others to judge anyway :)

Thanks for the listens guys.

I've downloaded the album and I'm listening to it now. My word, there's some very tasty material here.

Thanks for giving away the album! I'll give it a listen soon. I remember checking out your EP and liking it.

BTW now that the band was added, you can open threads about it in the Prog Bands, Artists and Genres Appreciation section, or about the releases in the Prog Recommendations/Featured albums section.

No unfortunately we don't have it on any other sites. That's weird though, I don't know why it's doing that. Do you have a Paypal account? Bandcamp also accepts that. 

Thanks valravennz, it's great to see another kiwi on here! The full album has way better artwork with it imo as well Smile

I've uploaded our whole album onto Youtube in video form. Each song has an accompanying visual element. They were all designed to complement the songs in some way, not so much as music videos (as most of them are very simple) but as a visual companion to the song (the artwork package with the album is based on these videos). I'll post three on here. The rest are available through Youtube.

When you play these I recommend selecting 720p HD from the little drop down list as the sound quality is also alot better.

Deception



Vad Åskan Sade



Control



Thanks guys!!

HI Guys - just came across this posting on PA and of-course, being a fellow Kiwi, had to investigate! Have downloaded the EP and I am very impressed - thanks too for including the pdf of the illustrations - awesome! Now I will have to go out and buy the full album. Cheers Smile

All good Damo. Not trying to rush anybody it was just the right time to release it. And I guess this is our official release. We are just doing an online release for now until we have the funds to do a nice physical one.
Sounds good. Thumbs Up Which Online Store are you doin' now?


It's all through our bandcamp page linked at the top. We are so stoked that you guys are liking the album. It feels pretty strange to go from my basement recording space to an international audience... awesome though :)
