“Are we still alive? is a question we’ve regularly asked ourselves about the band’s situation over the last three years. Between the two years of the COVID crisis that prevented us from seeing each other, rehearsing and playing live, the line- up changes and certain life changes for some of the band members that have impacted the way we work, compose and record, we’ve spent a lot of time hanging on and finding solutions to keep going. We’re proud to be here and to be releasing this new EP. Of course, the various themes addressed by the songs on this EP are also consistent with this question…” – says the band.
After several gigs in France, opening for famous bands (Sidilarsen, FULL THROTTLE BABY, Napoleon, Svalbard, The Prestige, BUKOWSKI, RESOLVE…), many tours in Spain, an amazing tour in Cuba (May 2019) and a participation in one of the biggest metal festival in Portugal, VAGOS METAL FEST, Ways. is still moving on, again and again. The band announces his new line up with Etienne (Colossus of Destiny) on drums and Anthony (Lies We Sold) on bass.
