The mixing and mastering of the debut album, "Gather The Faithful", has been completed!!! We've just delivered the album to our record label in Japan, and they've scheduled the release for end of July in Japan/Asia.
We're right now concentrating on the following European/US release, which most likely will be end of August. We're in negotiations with a well-known label, and will soon be able to announce the deal and tentative release date.
You can find more information on the album (song titles and recording credits) in the "ALBUMS" section of this site.
Around July 1st we'll be posting a few samples of the album for you to check out. We're very proud of this album and we're certain that you all will love it as well.
