Hello and welcome back everyone. It’s been a while since our last update, so as a result: there’s an awful lot of things we’d like to talk about.

First off: a very happy, healthy and musical 2010 for all of you who supported us during the last year. Ah what the heck, for all the other people out there as well! 2009 was a great year for us, mainly due to "Songs of Ice and Fire" and all the positive reactions going along with the release of that album. Thanx again for all your never-ending enthusiasm and the wonderful experience of the release party at Fenix, Sittard. Stark banners rise high!

You might be wondering what we were up to during the last months. Turns out that we can finally put focus back on creating some new stuff! And I gotta tell you, it never felt more right. We are going through some minor changes in both the process of song-writing and the style of the new material as well. An effort that worked out like an eye opener really. Expanding our musical horizons certainly gives rise to a whole new sort of inspiration for upcoming times. We hope to be able to introduce you to some of the new tracks in the near future!

Up till then, keep your head up high and enjoy!
