So after sending out some review copies, our upcoming album has leaked big time all over the internet. We are flattered due to the fact 'Path To Eternity' is obviously highly anticipated, but also encourage you to wait for the official release. After some unforeseen delays in production, this has been pushed to early December. In fact we are just waiting for the package to arrive which will happen any day now. In the mean time you can follow the 'Siren Song' in this official (!) lyric video - enjoy:

This will be another 90 min headline show, so better be ready for some serious headbanging.
