ASPIRE: News

Please check out our REVIEWS section for two great reviews of "In Defiance Of Fortune".

There is a new section in our LINKS. You'll find several places where you can download our music - fast and legally. Enjoy.

Our beloved US retailer, "Sentinel Steel" has all our albums in stock and ready to ship. Yes, it's the same legendary Sentinel Steel Records, that brought us so many great bands. Make sure you check their store for all ASPIRE releases (great prices too), as well as the enormous collection of all styles of good Metal.

We had a small problem with CD Baby sales, sorry about that. Our initial shipment of "In Defiance Of Fortune" sold out completely in two business days. I even received a call from them, first time in six years of doing business with CD Baby, demanding more CDs. The problem is resolved now, the new shipment has arrived, so please feel free to order it again:

We are proud to announce our official distributor in Spain. Please keep in touch for more news to come.

Well, guys, the wait is over. The last year was very hectic for us, so we didn't go to the studio. Not this time. We have almost completed writing material for the new album and will begin recording soon. Please visit this site, as I will keep the studio journal, as I did for "The Age Of Reckoning".

We have a new distributor in the United States. It is a small, but very reliable label, and we strongly encourage you to buy our music from them:




You can order directly from their MySpace page and you don't need to have a PayPal account for that, just a credit card.

You can listen to our music on the radio all over the world. But this station is so great, that we decided to give them a small feature:



The station is totally amazing, all-Metal and non-stop. Look for ProgMetal Angel Show and ask her to play ASPIRE!

This one is from our fellow American:

West Side Dave (scroll down the page).

Thank you, Dave!!!

Hey people!
