In Gods Hands (Acoustic)
Canadian metal mag "BW&BK" talks about Aio:
Back in June, FRAMESHIFT mastermind Henning Pauly announced he was seeking a new vocalist for the upcoming third Frameshift album, tentatively titled The God Delusion.
Pauly recently commented on Aio's performance:
"Not to diminish the achievement of all the other applicants, but Aio was definitely among the finalists. I really like his voice and the power he put into the piece. The only thing that made him not get the job in the end was that what he did sounded too close to something I have already done."
