I heard it a couple of times already, it was worth the
wait. I'm looking forward to get my hands on the CD and storybook
Thanks Meltdowner. It wasn't supposed to take that long but it is what it is. We are happy with the result though.

Brilliant news I absolutely love the debut and have been waiting for this sophomore release. I’m pretty envious of Samuel as he lives in Portugal and probably can jump on a bicycle and go see a gig. With the level of chops displayed on the debut methinks a live show would be positively smoking

^ Never had the chance to see them, the only time they played live (quite a few hours away on a bicycle) was when I saw the Ozrics.
Unfortunately there won't be any concerts any time soon here.

Unfortunately we weren't able to do any more shows. We were only able to record the live session ( http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAtW5DNOnoYvaKi3nSALTdN1RB5XSHliL" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAtW5DNOnoYvaKi3nSALTdN1RB5XSHliL )
We are discussing the possibility of doing a live show this year if this pandemic lets us.

^ It's not easy for a Prog band to book gigs here. I saw quite a few free admission concerts that sadly had more people in the band and crew than spectators. It would be easy to keep a safe distance from each other though, so maybe that's an opportunity

It certainly isn't easy. We are trying really hard to find a viable solution but I'm not confident. Unfortunately... But one way or another we are certainly playing live as soon as it's possible.
Have you already receive your copy of the album?

It's not like we don't have public or events for progressive music but promoters prefer to save up for big names instead of investing in national bands with potential.
Yeah, I got it two weeks ago but I want to read/hear Gerald again before commiting to the new one.

That's the big truth, unfortunately. Everything is business nowadays, which I can understand to a certain point. But sometimes, in some gigs/festivals, we can see that there's clearly some space to national bands but instead they bring international bands onstage. It's their choice but it's a bit frustrating.
