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!

Hey guys!

If you live in Germany and would like to order "The Age Of Reckoning" in your beautiful country, please contact Karthago Records where you can pre-order the album right now. It should be available there in a few days.

Hello people!

Great news! "The Age Of Reckoning" is availble! You can buy it right now from one of our favorite retailers, CD Baby. Here is the nice link for you:



When you listen to it, drop us a line, let us know what you think!

Well, you probably noticed the change on our page already. Yes, the beautiful picture that opens our site is the cover artwork of our upcoming album "The Age Of Reckoning". The artwork itself is the work of an amazing artist Eric Martin. Visit him on Myspace. Once again, thank you, Eric!

And here is the track list:

1. Apprehension
2. Burn The Witch
3. Repentance
4. Stealer Of Dreams
5. Kynvorloc
6. One Last Dance
7. Center And Part Of The Whole
8. Verona's Walls
9. Heaven On Their Minds
10. Fairy Tale

As you have guessed, "Heaven On Their Minds" is a cover song. Ryan's voice is perfect for the part and "Jesus Christ Superstar" is by far my favorite album. Those of you who know us should not be surprised. And yes, it's a Metal version of the song.

Yes, "Verona's Walls" is based on "ROMEO AND JULIET".

Some of you have heard "Repentance" and "Fairy Tale", as recorded by our old line-up. Believe me, you heard nothing yet! The songs were re-worked, drums and bass completely re-arranged, almost all parts re-recorded.

Please stay in touch, stay Metal and watch out for the new ASPIRE album in October.

Three months? We haven't updated in almost three months? Very sorry, guys! But now we have some very exciting news. The brand new ASPIRE album,
"The Age Of Reckoning"
is completely finished. The master went to the manufacturing company two days ago and you can expect it's release in no more than a few weeks. The album is more solid, more aggressive and symphonic at the same time. We already have a pre-order for it from our favorite retailer! So, please, stay tuned. We will release the cover artwork and the track number very soon, so you'll know what to expect.

On our site? Well, no problem! Send us your picture with "Quest Eternal" and we will gladly publish it here. You can even tell us what capture you'd like. Send your pictures here

Hey people!

Go to Yahoo! and search for Symphonic Power Metal. You'll get some definitions and generic sites, but what is the first band it will offer you?

We are back in the studio. The material for the new full-length CD is almost ready. We have four songs for the new album recorded, with at least five more to follow. Stay tuned for more updates.

If you plan to buy "Quest Eternal" (and it's great if you do :), and if you live in the US, please buy it from

Wishing Well Entertainment

It's a small, very reliable store, family operated and extremely pleasant. It is a pleasure for us to do business with them, and we are sure that you'll love them too. So, go and order from them. One more thing that differes them from most stores, they accept practically any form of payment.
