Joe (vocalist & guitarist) onShattering Reflection:
"I'm very satisfied with what we achieved onShattering Reflection. We've created a very versatile and surprising album. Because it had been so long since we've released anything new, we had a lot of demo material to choose from and I think that's what made this record so interesting. We had the time to experiment with the songwriting, arrangements and vocal lines. Also the collaboration withFrancesco Paolias a producer was really cool. We managed to truly give the songs a unique vibe.
It feels like we're at the start of a new chapter for the band and I'm excited to hear people's reactions to the new stuff! It was a long and heavy process but it was totally worth it!"
