The band has some financial issues at the moment,
and thus can't finish remixing/remastering their debut album yet.
The band will resume as soon as everything is worked out.
November 7th, 2006
The band is working on a remix/remaster of their debut album,
since rhythm guitar was buried under lead guitar in the original mix.
Chord progressions will sound louder and clearer,
making the music sound more melodic.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Since we've just signed a contract with an independent label,
