Update
Posted on April 5, 2012
It has been two months since we posted an update on our website, but we haven't been lazing around! The shows in Arnhem and Soest went great and we want to thank the Willemeen venue, the Artishock venue, Arcadya Lake, Bloodshift, Servantum and Endless Cycle for making this two special evenings. We wish Bloodshift the best of luck in the finals of Metal Battle.
Furthermore, we have confirmed our first show abroad, in Belgium. We have been asked to play at the Vlamrock Preselections and we are very happy to do so! In the meantime we are still in writing mode and we are creating some cool new stuff!
