in the band's tour and the ambition of their Tour Manager Luciferian's

Colombian band to ever open for an International gig in Argentina. The
show was great, and the Argentinian public got to know the band's work.

: The work of 3 years, and the sacrifices done in
2008 give fruit when in the city of Sucre(Bolivia) the band received the
copies of their second LP TRANSCENDING. Mixed by Germán Villacorta(Ozzy
Osbourne, Rolling Stones, Zack Wilde). Transcending is heavier, more
authentic and progressive, it seeks to Transcend in the actual Metal
Scene, and as Revealed got them in the position they have nationally,
this album is meant to lead them to the European, American and Japanese
Scene.

the streets, in the Argentinian Frontier because of a problem of custom.

them with the opening bands. In spite of adversity the tour was a total
sucess and now more than 3000 thousand people in South America got to
know the band.

:
February 2008 - : Opening Act for
IRON MAIDEN
: Days before de concert the band got a lot of fire by the
die hard fans of Iron Maiden, and by the fans of more classic/traditional/dark
bands that weren't chosen, and the soundcheck in front of the venue half
filled was relly hard and the people were reluctant to give an
opportunity to the band. But when the show started, all the skeptical
were turned to silence, and even when they played only 8 minutes the
people got warmed up and supported the band as can be seen in the videos
in youtube of the event.
