The Album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Thomas ”Plec” Johansson (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra, Nocturnal Rites, Dynazty) at The Panic Room in Skövde, Sweden.

All songs written by hugely talented Victor Olsson except ”The Runaway”, which was written by Maurice Gibb & Robin Gibb from Bee Gees.
The song is a cover of Carolas hit single from 1986. So that’s our tribute to the best swedish female singer of all time!
The amazing cover artwork was created by the German artist Markus Vesper Art.

An official video for our next single ”Love Will Stay Alive” to be released next week. More details and pre-order info coming soon, stay tuned!
