Recordings are lately completed during September 2005 at Filippo Massa and Irene Pehlijan's private studio in Trieste with a complete re-mastering.

Sounds Like: Really don't know, people may have told every band on this world answering the question "what band does we sound like?". They told us we sound like Dream Theater, they told we sound like HIM, they told we sound like Maiden or Deep Purple, they told we're similar to Motley Crue but with less double-kickdrum......well we really don't think we sound like any of this bands...does it really matter? We just wanna rock, and that's all!
