The CD version of Darkened has been somewhat delayed, and I am expecting to be able to give a reliable release date soon.. I'm sorry for this unexpected delay, after all the early promising announcements that were made, but this has nothing to do with me, and I'm sure you will understand that Ninthwave Records is also doing its best to arrange things at soonest, while bearing indie company's work conditions. Meanwhile the Darkened lyrics and booklet are available at my site, so you may still have an inside view of the album..

Besides following the recent release of album SIMULACRA (Jan.07).. I'm currently working on next album, tentatively named DARKENED, of which track 'Children of Millenniums' (played here). This new album musically aims to blend together dark electro, lush guitars, 17th century ornementation, sacred music choirs and heavy drum kits, while exploring a different way of building the songs, by merging blocks, independently built. While SIMULACRA pretext is about androids usage, and CLOCKWORKS, JULIET pretext relies on automatons behavings, DARKENED pretext is based on a vampire's life thema..
