From the opening kick of the mesmerizing “So Fell Autumn Rain” to the phantasmagorious finale that “To Blossom Blue” offers, there is not the slightest point where the interest is lost. Although all these are known and said thousands of times, we feel the need to repeat them once again.

We feel really proud to fulfill a lifelong dream for us, as it has been our burning desire to work with this band that we have been following since its first steps.\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, having the chance to talk to the only one left in the ramparts of Lake Of Tears, Daniel Brennare, we realized – apart from his undeniable compositional talent of course – how deeply philosophically educated person he is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe is a real fighter, defeated his personal “demons” and is back here, ready for new musical adventures. We hope that the re-release of “Forever Autumn” and those that will follow, will give him an extra creative boost, because we believe that he still has a lot to offer.
