2015 has been a come back year for us. After many years of preparations and an extended recording process we finally released our 6th studio album “Until All The Ghosts Are Gone” in April and it’s with great joy and satisfaction that we can conclude that the hard work has paid off.

As we hadn’t released an album in 8 years we were unsure if there was still an audience out there for us and we’re really stoked by all the positive feedback.

Now the year is drawing to a close and the album has made it to many best of 2015 lists. We’ve been keeping an eye on two of them closely as they are lists where fans and casual listeners can give their vote.

On Progarchives the album has received 381 ratings (43% 5 stars) which made the album rank as no 2 of all the prog rock-releases of 2015, only beaten by Steven Wilson’s “Hand.Cannot.Erase”(!)

On Rate Your Music ”Until All The Ghosts Are Gone” has received 419 ratings and we are for the first time one of the year’s top 100 releases. Our current position of 74 may seem modest compared to the 2nd place on the Progarchives list, but as this is a list comprising of all genres of music it more or less equals it.

With our new member Marty Willson-Piper onboard we’re looking forward to the next year with confidence.

Here’s to a great 2016! Cheers & thank You for all your support!
