All vocals, musical arrangements and lyrics are done by Ray Cappo, Ken Olden played guitar and bass on the record and Dave Dicenso drummed on the album.



VANISHING POINT to re-release first album
It's considered as a "classic" in the prog metal scene and it was hard to get for years:
We are excited to announce the long awaited re-release of Vanishing Point's first album "In Thought" complete with bonus video clips and the studio sessions re-mixed and re-mastered! It is not hard to see why "In Thought" is regarded as some of the most melodically accomplished albums of that time.
Check it out by yourself now that you have the chance to!



Meet the ABANDONED
So, you're out tonight or tomorrow in the area of Germany called "Ruhrpott"?! Meet our Hessian crazyness of ABANDONED: Tonight, friday March 17th they are gonna raise hell at Pennylane in Dortmund and do the DJ on the "Breakingthesilence-Party", tomorrow on Saturday March 18 they are at the Matrix/Bochum and annoy the dj until good ol' Thrash Metal is gonna be played again.
Have a beer with them. They don't bite - as long as the guitars are fucking down-picking with screaming solos and all the stuff YOU love, too!

LAKE OF TEARS are confirmed to play at "Middle East Rock Bash - Battle for the Crown" on Saturday, 8th of July 2006 in Beirut, Lebanon. The ticketprices will be between 20-30$ (VIP between 50-60$)



SAVAGE CIRCUS on Godzilla's footpath
Yesterday evening SAVAGE CIRCUS played their first-ever show in Japan, and as far as the news got back to our headquarter it was a blast of a debut. Tonight's the second time SAVAGE CIRCUS are supporting EDGUY on their Japanese tour in Tokio, and we are sure it will be as impressive as yesterday.



AFTER ALL to support King Diamond
First it looked like "only" two dates in the neighbourhood, but now it's official: Our Belgian metallers AFTER ALL were asked and are invited to support KING DIAMOND on the final leg of his tour. This will be the first shows of AFTER ALL in the UK, so the boys are looking forward to this very much and say "Thanks" to the King and his management.



First reactions about LOST IN RHONE debut
Germany's Metal-Inside.de says about "Beloved Be The Ones Who Sit Down", the debut album of our Belgian youngsters:

"These boys must be really gifted songwriters! The outcome is a modern sounding emo album in a laid-back mood which bows down before old metal heroes as well. The tunes are rocking and relaxed and will appeal to every average emo fan. Some songs like ?On Becoming A Vampire" even remind of The Deftones. ?Beloved Be The Ones Who Sit Down" is a perfect album for an easy sunday morning."

Right in time for the release and the upcoming shows guitar player Kristof just picked up his guitar again, after not being able to play for over a month due to a broken hand. Following the already announced shows will be a UK tour, the dates will be announced in no time.
