Melodic hard rock, bordering on metal, with symphonic prog tendencies. We sound like no single band in particular, but are inspired by the likes of Rush, Marill

Another day Another day

Fairly straight Journey-esque fast rocker. Highly melodic, of course.

Another time Another time

Straight forward, but a bit weird underneath the surface. Great chorus! Tony Mills do backing vox!

Return to the mirror medley Return to the mirror medley

This is a medley made up from glimpses of all the songs on our new album "Return to the mirror". It is not mastered yet, but we'll return with mp3's of each song when it is!

Progressive Rock

We are from the northern part of Norway, way north of the arctic circle. We play "Melodic hard rock, bordering on metal, with symphonic prog tendencies." We are a five-piece: Drums, Bass, Keys, Guitar and Vocals. Our most important asset is our songwriting. I guess it doesn't harm that we love performing the songs. We've been doing this for more than 15 years now, with the same line-up. We won't quit, and now our first album is up for release this year!
Band/artist history

Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, but not often, lately. We live scattered about the whole country. It's more than 1000 miles from me to our keyboard player, for instance! But we enjoy it, so we'll try to make it happen again. We've been together for 15 years, and have played support for Ronnie Le Tekrø (TNT) and the Thin Lizzy covers band he had, Bad Habitz. -A very nice experience. A very nice guy.
Your musical influences
We sound like no single band in particular, but are inspired by the likes of Rush, Marillion, Shadow Gallery, Magnum and Journey, and to an undefinable horde of melodic, more or less “proggy” bands. We’re very much about MELODY and LYRICS, as well as the best possible MUSIC to back this up. Great SONGS performed with passion. Can it get any better?
Anything else?
We will stay for decades on end, and we have finished material for several albums. We can go into a dry today, and still keep it up for another at least 3. Still, we're writing new stuff all the time, and it's only getting better (of course)!
