In Summer 2004, the band recorded their new album "Beyond The Sea" at M20 (drums & backing vocals) & New Sin Studios. The first edition of the album will be limited to 5.000 copies and will contain an exclusive bonus track. In this new amazing album the band shows less baroque elements, heavier guitars and more powerful sound than in their previous recordings. Probably, the tracks are more straight forward than in the past. This time the band wanted to be more focussed in the search of the right melodies than in an overloaded production.
