Collin Leijenaar and I just planned the project. At last it`s now officially launching. I gave him my Pro Tools sessions with my guitar and vocal tracks (demos). Hopefully he will record his drum tracks until the end of may/beginning of june. I`ll announce the other famous prog-musicians soon.

for the songs Salvation and Falling Away. The songs will be extended and we hope to start the recordings in february. The titles of the pieces might change because of the lyrical concept of the album. I apologize for the delays but we`re all pretty busy musicians at the moment.
